McNally posted:An update on my ID card situation: I don't remember, have you written to your congressman or anything? It shouldn't have to come to that but gently caress 'em, someone should suffer for this and it shouldn't be you. e: or the American Legion or the DAV or the quilting society or some poo poo. Do you have an advocate that isn't actively in the military? hogmartin fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Jan 15, 2016 |

Well, I lit a fire under it. The Casualty Assistance Office sent people over to the ID office to ask WTF. Got a call from the CAO saying that they're now talking directly with HRC at Knox to get answers about why it's taking so long and the ID office called me to say that HRC isn't answering their calls (the ones they probably didn't make until they got a visit from CAO). Still going to talk to my congressman and to IG, though. I'm going to metaphorically burn that office to the ground. You and I know that I got put on the backburner because I didn't accept their bullshit at face value. That office needs to be (again, metaphorically) destroyed and rebuilt so this poo poo doesn't happen to someone who doesn't know better.

Guy who lived next door to me growing up just died of cancer at 27. He was a real idiot grade a shitbird piece of poo poo human but no one deserves to go like that. He was good to his daughter and that's more than you can say about lots of people in south Mississippi.

My step mom had cancer and she is alive (thankfully) but she had an 18 hour surgery where they literally peeled her face back, put a metal plate in her head, removed the cancer thing and replaced it with stomach muscle. She also can't smell or taste anything anymore because it was either do that or die.
