Does your friend have 10% service connected disability? If so she should start applying for Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, which provides 48 months of education benefits instead of 36, pays for tuition and fees AND books and even covers large items like cameras and computers if they're necessary for your degree. It requires a bit more work but it's totally worth it.

Its insanely simple, you fill out a form after you're accepted to whatever school and it pretty much takes care of itself for the most part.

I should try voc rehab again and see if the last lady got fired. She wanted to track meds and poo poo which seems extremely out of her lane. My friend at another VR office in NY had to get a psych eval basically for wanting to switch majors.

It really seems to vary a lot by individual case managers it seems, it's still worth trying for and seeing what they say

It was a pretty quick thing. "Sup, whats going on? Ok name, cell, SSN? Cool we'll send you a new one." *click* I dunno if that's a good thing or not but dude seemed chill. We're gonna find out if it comes. In the mean time; I'm considering going over to the VA regional on Friday because why not. See if I can get this going faster.

It was completely painless and it sounds like I'm going to get several grand in backpay (I was on 60% Post 9/11, now I'm eligible for 100% BAH rate).

My lab partner is wearing some marine infantry school hoodie. I’m trying to hide my forearm moto tattoo but it’s really hot and I think I’m gonna have to take off my jacket.

It was an Infantry advanced “something” course. It had corporal stripes and sgt stripes on the little logo. I just sweat through the whole class instead. Soulex posted:Just blouse your sleeves like a real marine you pussy. If I ever was one Id consider it. I guess the army is trying it out now or some poo poo. I have to admit I’m a little jealous I didn’t get to try. Casimir Radon posted:He's going to want to touch dicks now. Cool kids touch tips. Unfortunately vets at school, in my experience, have bad opinions and a willingness to share. Also I saw him browsing reddit, didn’t catch the subreddit though. He’s kinda doughy though so maybe it’s his brothers or something? Of course I’m fat so ya know maybe not. 45 ACP CURES NAZIS posted:i had a lab partner that was dating a infantry marine private and it was all i could do but to laugh my rear end off Was it like watching a slow motion car crash?

Separated from active last March and been doing school and reserves since. I never saw anyone at the VA afterwards though, and I feel like I should have gotten evaluated for disability at some point. What steps should I take for this?

How stupid would an impulse buy of a Surface Pro be? I ride the bus to work and have a decent amount of down time. I've got an old laptop for class but I've got a bunch of money burning a whole in my pocket. Between my iPhone and the laptop this seems like a really stupid idea but I can't make it go away.

I've had a Surface Pro for a few years now and poo poo is legit. I take notes at school with the pen, use it as a laptop with the keyboard, and it's got enough oomph to do 3D modelling and some game stuff so I'm really happy with it. Someone was telling me the other day that the price went up though. I don't know if that's true so you'd have to decide if it's worth it or not.

As a side note, I've got an iPad Pro which I use similarly for note taking. It owns as my portable computer. Something to consider If you're an Apple person.

I also have the iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. I use one note for note taking in school and it’s really easy to seamlessly switch between writing and typing with it, it’s awesome. I definitely recommend it.

I don’t know how you guys do it but staring at a screen that’s close enough to take notes on or read for too long makes me nauseous.

I wound up getting an MS folding BT keyboard (basically a foldable surface keyboard with Apple keys on it) that I like, but the built in nature of the Smart Keyboard sounds great. I've got the original 9.7" Pro, I think I'll upgrade in the next year to the 10.5" w/ Keyboard.

It’s pretty solid and magnetically hooks up to some contacts along the side so I don’t have to fiddle with BT. I never have to turn it on it’s basically activated by context and I haven’t had any unintentional keystrokes in the 6 months I’ve had it(as in I didn’t mean for the keyboard to be active but it started typing because a button was pressed by the weight of the iPad). I do wish it had a more solid case that could work with it since I’m clumsy though. It’s basically just a screen protector when closed.

Yeah if you just want to take notes and make snap chats with your dick pics or whatever then just get anything. If you want to do that AND do anything that requires some power then the surface pro is pretty snazzy.
