To clarify, yes, I actually have real people non-Skilcraft healthcare, but anything that isn't super serious that I can get for free from the VA I'm gonna take. I am fortunate enough to be neither tremendously hosed up nor dependant upon the VA (or any other government-sponsored system) for care. :)

Also pretty interesting is that the drugs and pain relief the doc wanted were not what the pharmacist gave me, but they did throw in a whole bunch of ibuprofen! :toot:

I imagine it involves budgeting all the associated subsidies and whatnot into the fiscal year. With that said I've gotten a pretty decent bit of leeway from my professors as I go through my P&E exams by explaining to them that I am at the mercy of a the VA and they suck. Ymmv

Went to go refind where one of my classes is today because I haven't shown up to it for a month. Of course there's too many people in there to take attendance, and everything is turned in online so I'm still getting an A.

I kept getting e-mails about it but everytime I tried to login or reset my password the system would poo poo itself and present me with the same options: login or change password.

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

I use the microwave at the vets lounge at school for my lunch. Always walk in, microwave, and out, never hang around. It's so full of bad stereotypes. Huge dudes with multicam hats with goddamn rank patches on the back. (Dude who the gently caress cares if you were an SFC, you're out now.) Constant "this one time on deployment" conversations. And dudes spitting dip right into trash cans. I get this Patrick Bateman feeling of absolute revulsion when I see that.

Seriously, you're not in your platoon bay anymore dude, try to have at least some class.

This is why I don't hang out there.

I find the occasional psychotic snaps from reality really spices up post military life, and when burning yourself with lighters stops being enough bath salts are everywhere there's poor African Americans and Gas Stations anywhere that used to be confederate.

Also if I did have a facebook I would changey gender to confederate or trans-states-rights.
