How do people retire from the military poor?

[987654321]

yeah as long as you’re not dishonorably discharged you’re good for the most important benefit, which is the va loan.

anything less than a general “under honorable conditions” discharge is fukked.

preciate it lol. I don’t know why I didn’t finish typing lol.

The only thing I don’t play with is rape/murder/accountability ...Anything else you tell me i won’t really say much about. If someone says they smoked week once upon a time so. Or was in a gang so...

steroids definitely isn’t a big deal a lot of us are prescribed testosterone. It doesn’t even take a lot to get it. It’s not so much of a cover up as it is a so what...

Also I always tried my best to take care of people who came to me and told me before hand they had an issue. To me owning up to a mistake and honesty goes a long way...I have fought on the side of a lot of Soldiers many of which are still in and bounced back from what ever minor issue they have yes to include coming up hot (remember I’m a scout so it’s not like my guys had TS-SCI caveats).

Yeah I'm not talking about heavy shyt like Rape or murder but I can say it seemed like regulations where basically suggestions and when someone got into trouble usually it was handled at the lowest level.
As far as accountability I learned early on to hoard things that could go missing unless the leadership wouldn't support a field loss. It just amazing what could be covered up if the bosses allowed it.

I tried to get test therapy while out and I was told "you're good". Usually a doctor prescribes you any and everything but they won't give you any Testosterone. Speaking over being a scout I remember a dude pissed hot for cocaine and he claimed that he didn't do it so they made him a Cav Scout in a mechnaized unit.

Have you seen any difference since you're been on test? What exactly did they give you Peptides or Anavar?

Im not a military bruh....but I know some cats who did the military...so I think there's confusion with being discharged and being retired.

I don't know anyone who's officially retired after doing 20 years and became poor....everyone I've ever heard who retired after that long is BALLIN...big money saved, couple houses, crazy bank accounts and nice gigs

Now you have some people who have been discharged after a few years and who don't have anything...I know plenty of them

Yes it’s some that are poor...That retire. The same reason you said they were balling is the same reason why they are poor..,But actually what is poor? Also remember their stories are not over yet bad things can happen to anyone.

I did see some assuming people who were chaptered our early collect retirement that’s not true unless they were medically retired...sometimes a lot of the vets you see doing bad were bad conduct or some type of situation like that discharge. With discharges like that you have no benefits even though many over the years are able to raise their discharge level and apply for VA benefits.

It’s a whole system to it. You have to be tested with your test shut down. The only prescription I was able to get was Test/viagra/glucophage/lisnopril/T3 even though I was approved for cialis they give you the generic viagra because of course it’s far cheaper...all of these required other parameters of test and talking with a specialist...

crazy thing the doc just prescribed me lisinopril because I’m a middle aged black man rather I had high blood pressure or not.

I don’t know how long ago you tried to do it but you can do it again it’s best to go to a urologist...I’m sure they will try to get you to use the rub on cream first.

If you tell them that High Blood Pressure runs in your family and you have a high salt diet they'll perscribe you hyptension pills.

Have you noticed any difference in pump? Has your run times increased or anything?

Not really. Ill probably slide on out without doing another APFT. We aren’t doing them right now and they are converting to the ACFT...

I’ve been on for years now but yes it did help improve my recovery I very rarely was tired from working out and didn’t have many long term injuries. I never concentrated on running much but it stayed about the same as when I was in my late 20s 14:10-15:50.

I’ve been slacking off of my workouts the past few months to the point of I’m thinking about canceling my gym membership can’t imagine working out in a mask.

I'm guessing you're in a mech unit. You should come to Fort Bragg that's literally all we did was run ruck and ruck run. We'd do like 5 pull ups a dips and spend an hour running. Every week there was at "fast as you can" run. That and rucking was all that mattered at Fort Bragg.

I'm not sure how the ACFT is gonna replace the APFT especially for AG units where are they gonna store the eqiupment.

I think one of the reasons I got fukked up is because I never streched other than the bullshyt streching exercises that was required, I'm paying for it now.

How are they setting you up for retirement? Is the Finance NCO doing briefs or is there no support other than TAPS classes?

I do operations for a training brigade at Fort Sill. I’m not going to Bragg I have less than 10 months remaining be lucky if I go on post ...the only people here who are doing PT in this brigade are the Drills who are in session everyone else is PT on your own late work call or teleworking

the ACFT is replacing the APFT in 2022 the good thing is it won’t be used as a discriminator for a while now. A lot of places already have the equipment getting it to the guard/reserves and them finding space will be rough.

Fort sill retirement services is the GOAT and the medical personnel here. This place is literally set up for you to retire. I already have my records and everything. Just thinking about doing a few more things in regard to disability.​

That's great. I got to ask what was the final straw that made you drop your packet? Would you stay if they said gave you a line Battalion to Run or something?

4 years later, how is your dad doing?

18 years old in 1970 makes him 68. He should be drawing everything by now.

Pops is doing straight. Between his settlement and retirement from the state, and his full military pension he's alright thanks for asking breh

no it’s over. I just don’t have any love for this anymore and want to raise my kids and actually stay at home and see my kids grow... they passed me over 3 times for promotion to SGM so it clearly isn’t in the cards.
