MILITARY STORIES

[Karume]

Had my sleep study on Friday night. Apparently I have pretty bad sleep apnea. I was having a lot of occurences so they put a mask on me. The nurse started me on low pressure but had to increase it fairly high for me. I was started on a CPAP but was switched to a BiPAP machine. So i guess I just wait to get my official diagnosis. I was thinking I have OSA but I might have CSA as well.

RIP.

Apparently they weren't even in a combat MOS. And they were reserves.

As much as I want on overseas assignment, this is why I never put in for position in a hazard zone.

Combat MOS vs POG, AD vs Guard/Reserves, none of that matters because you're still wearing the same uniform.


The most fun I ever had was when I was downrange but if you think it's not for you, then by all means.

Just saw somewhere that Navy is accepting sailors with no diplomas/GED as long as they can score a 50 on the ASVAB.

McNamara's Morons redux.

I don’t see a problem with it. Army needs to do the same. My Reserve unit right now is staffed at 30%.

Most people don't want to be in the military.

Military is down bad right now. $15 an hour minimum wage killing us.

Stop it. $15/hr is chicken shyt and not the reason the military can't recruit. Maybe it's the fact that recruiters lying off the jump? Fighting and possibly dying for lies? Yellow cake? Personally, I couldn't sign up to go halfway across the globe to kill another poor brown person.

Although not in the military I’ve done one. You’re probably going to have the worst sleep of your life, but the information they gather will be helpful. Is it to see how severe your OSA is?

Did one and yes you will have a terrible nights sleep.

They'll hook you up to all kinds of machines but again the data they gather will be helpful.

apparently, my AHI is 61.2, and my O2 was dropping to 76%. I get my BiPap machine in a few days.

So you were barely sleeping. Curious as to why they didn’t start you on a cpap first and then Moved to a bipap if the cpap wasn’t giving you the relief you needed. In any event good shyt breh…this is the first step to getting a good nights sleep.

during the sleep study they started me on a cpap first then switched to a bipap.

How’s the treatment going?

 

[Karume]

How’s the treatment going?

it's still a bit awkward using the mask but I definitely get better sleep. I am deciding if/when to try to claim sleep apnea. if I were to get service connected it would put me pretty close to 100%

[WaveWhisperer]

Yall hear about the airforce having retired folks come back to AD?

 

[david yow's jeans]

you mean VRAAD? it's not an entirely new thing, but it looks like they're expanding it beyond the more exotic job positions... maybe this will lead to retention bonuses for active duty
