Sounds like he's got dependants and bills and doesn't want to potentially gently caress over his family.

Not everyone looking at getting out or staying in is an early twenties dude with no one depending on his paycheck.

Those ones are my favorites. Because if Jody doesn't steal away his wife while he's deployed and she's still hot he'll just get older, higher rank, and salty and have nothing but resentment for his life choices and have no problem keeping everyone at work until 1900 so he doesn't have to go back to his fat bitchy wife.

Then he's the one saying "what do you mean you're not re-enlisting? You want to flip burgers for the rest of your life?"



But yeah healthcare is a bitch. Reserves makes perfect sense there

Yeah I've had a pretty bad experience overall and can't wait to get out soon. Green weenie has hosed me almost every step of the way. But now I'm scared moks ghost is going to come call me a boot rear end human being bitch because I never worked 18 hour days 7 days a week as a nuke on a sub



I think you're thinking of the "Med at home," or something like that. Which they only started implementing at my last command and throughout the Navy? (Military?) About 3 years ago. You can make appointments online, view lab results online, etc. I don't know the exact details because we're still trapped in time writing everything on paper here with a 2 hour time slot every morning that you're allotted to go to medical



What about reserve healthcare if you're near an MTF? I assumed it was the same in that instance as if you were AD

Military Treatment Facility. Hospital, clinic, etc. Obviously some are Military only like the smaller clinics near a flightline etc. But some bases only have a clinic which see active duty and dependents. They usually close at 1600 but the really small hospitals have 24 hour care such as an urgent care or maybe even an ER or will be open on weekends.

But yeah varies pretty drastically from place to place as to what services or specialty care is offered.

GIP hates MTFs and mostly rightfully so but some are actually pretty decent and convenient with great access to care imo

Ok cool. Is visiting a MTF while a reservist treated differently than a regular hospital? I don't plan on rely on it but when I get back and start looking for a job it's my health care back up plan for my family while I wait for whatever job I acquire to kick in.

Uhm, don't quote me on any of this. And I'm not 100% sure what you're asking. But I mean MTFs in general vary drastically from place to place. First you have to determine what's near where you will be and what tri-care option is best for you.

Unless you chose Tri-care prime I believe it is and are enrolled in said MTF the only services you can get from one would be emergency. Emergency visits are covered anywhere you go with tri-care though.

It sounds like you're going to elect for the paid tri-care option. Just don't be one of those reservist that doesn't pay for tricare that tries to get some chronic knee pain covered on drill weekend or cold symptoms then gets surprised when you get a bill.

Again, GIP hates MTFs. But they're not all that bad. The access to care where I worked before was pretty drat decent aside from specialty care. See doc, walk across hall get x-ray, go to next window and pick up meds etc.

So getting out real soon and barely starting to get seen for my issues. Curious what all you guys claimed on your final physical? I don't think I'll have a chance to sit down and file my claims on base before I get out but I'm just going to try to do it with a VA rep while I'm on terminal.


What all did you guys claim, were you ever seen for it on active duty, what'd you get, etc? If you don't mind telling. I'm not trying to milk the system I'm just wondering if you guys are writing down literally every little thing on your final physical? I just have ringing in my left ear and the usual lower back pain. And self diagnosed plantar fasciitis for the last year. Which I'll probably get seen for just in case it's an issue down the line. I just am still a bit confused as to how the whole process works.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I already got all my electronic poo poo printed off.


For tinnitus am I alright just putting it on my final physical or do I need an actual visit for it?


Since I still have to go to medical for some stuff I'll probably do the disability poo poo on terminal at the VA with a rep. Because I heard the place on base is an absolute pain and a huge line out the door by 6 am.


Unfortunately at my clinic specifically everything is paper charted. Hope that doesn't make issues with writing illegibility etc.

Yeah I have a fairly recent audiogram. In the hearing conservation program because of where I work so we do them annually. My hearing is fine (I actually wore ear pro unlike most now deaf Marines I work with) and no combat but yeah lots of explosions, tons of flying, 7 ton rides (loud as gently caress), shooting etc. I legit have ringing in my left ear. It's not terrible but it's there. I'll just put it on my final physical.

The senior chief overseeing my board kept asking these off the wall questions at the end of every section loosely related to the topic at hand and would get frustrated if you didn't know. Like his own personal trivia. "Well this isn't in the book or required material for you to know buttttt"

The gently caress?

I do love gawking at all the fat wives. Thankfully usually the tickets are free or at least pretty cheap thanks to bake sales and car washes. But you still need those dumb mini medals (not sure what the official requirement is but here it was mini medals) which can be expensive plus buying a dress for your wife/misses who is increasingly getting fat

When we went to PI a sailor got drunk, punched out a window, shoved a cop, wrestled a bunch of other sailors, and ran away from the police after already being detained. He got NJP'd (obviously) and sent back from deployment to get separated

The JAG had to walk off ship with a bag of $10k or some poo poo at least twice if not more


But yeah can't top the dude who found his sister working at a whore house and went outside and punched out a window in a fit of rage. No less than at least 3 different windows were punched out that port stop
