What is your take on this situation?
So I arrived to basic training back in August and everything was a typical basic experience up until mid September when I started to have pain in my right leg. I went to sick call and got on a profile that ended on an APFT day. My leg was in pain so I needed it to get re evaled but a drill sergeant denied me sick call and made me run 2 miles on a bad leg. The next day I was seen for my leg and after 4 weeks of appointments(bone scans and xrays) and still training. I was diagnosed with a stress fracture on mid femur. waited till the 10th week still training and got 30 day con leave for the month of November. Had fun at home and came back eager to get the rest of training over with. Got back during the cycle break and went for another reeval to get an RTD, X-rays revealed possible fractures on the hip and femoral neck (did not happen while I was on leave). I was put on crutches and went back to my unit to wait for another bone scan. In the meantime of waiting, our company had to move from one building to another.This meant me and about 2 to 4 other privates( they left at different times) had to lift heavy desks, couches etc. for about 12 hours during the week. I was allowed at the time to go out on weekends but not much to do here. When the bone scan results came in, it said no problems even though I knew there was something still wrong. They told me to wait till Christmas Exodus was done since everything was closing done cause it was a week away. So exodus came and I went home again on Dec 17 till Jan 4. Came back dreading the fact that I would be stuck in a feeling of limbo. I started to refuse medical treatment by never going back to sick call. All at the same time I was still working for my company. Things got even worse when we got back. We still had to move heavy objects with all our injuries ( the other 2 guys had injuries as well) and we also had to paint the barracks. The usual workday was from 8am to about 10 pm for 5 to 7 days a week. Things started to hit the fan and it just got really bad, I had to pay nearly $50 for paint, somebody paid $100 and the other nearly $200. They stared taking privileges like our phones away and we weren't allowed mail cause they didn't have an address. It got to a point where somebody who I have no clue who it was called IG and the company caught some flak. All our superiors were trying to track down who did it like it was some sort of crime. Some of my drill sergeants easily described it as "slave labor" and another said that we was seriously "disgusted at the way we got treated". When things finally seemed to get better cause it seemed like the slave labor came to an end, the staff duty came. That is where we just sit there for 24 hour shifts doing nothing but waiting for a phone that never rang. We did 24 hour shifts every other day for about a week and then once every 4 days for about 3 weeks. One time, I got screwed over and had to do a 48 hour shift. All this time I was developing some sort of emotional distress type thing and kept it in for about a month. It got to the point where after that 48 hour shift I felt like my head was about to explode and I would have lost it, so I seeked mental help and got scheduled for a discharge. i was scheduled for a chapter 11 and waited about 8 weeks for the papers to finally stop getting dicked around and was about to go home. 5 days before I was scheduled to leave. I got told I wasn't eligible for CH 11 cause it only works for people with 180 days or less of service. Mine was signed 183 days of service. I was ordered back to my company and get a new chapter. It's been over a month and I've still been waiting for my paperwork to get signed. Just wanted opinions on this situation.
What should I do in high school to get into competitive accounting programs?
I am considering applying for competitive accounting programs. One of these programs is Holy Cross' , which only accepts 32 students per year. What would make me a good applicant for admissions into this program. I have taken all of the hardest math classes at my school and consistently get As. My SAT/ACT scores for math are near perfect, and my Math 1 and Math 2 subject tests are both above 700. However, I also want to do pre med. In the last few years I have put a lot of emphasis on things such as volunteering at the hospital, shadowing, and taking classes that relate to pre medicine. Therefore, I haven't done much that relates to accounting (if there is even anything to do as a high school student). Many of the classes I have taken in high school were math/science related. I will only take 2 businesses classes (economics and intro to business) because I just realized I am interested in accounting. What do you think I should do?
Question regarding home property?
A friend owns her home and put a fence in separating her backyard from her neighbours property, she paid for the fence (her neighbours did not) and her neighbours painted the other side of the fence without asking, can they do this, seeings how it is not their fence? Thanks
Whens obammy gonna send femur down to hep the tornader folks?
He already gave all the emergency money away to Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and many foreign banks, so that they could pay multi million dollar bonuses to their loser managers for wasting their company's money.
I would like to hear from anyone who has had hip resurfacing or a mini hip replacement done?
I'm scheduled for a mini hip replacement, where the upper portion of the femur is saved. I would like to know if anyone has has good or bad results from this procedure.
Does anyone know the name of this book or the series it belongs in?
my friend was reading a book about a girl that can control the weather but she's wanted for murder. I'm not even sure if this is the first book it might have been in the first book were she commits the murder I'm not sure, anyone know the name of the book or the series. It might be about djins. emphasis on might.
What is the process for getting housing on or near a military base and child care?
My hubby will be returning soon from his deployment. He is currently a Private First Class but he is hoping that he will soon be eligible for promotion. My father and grandfather (one of my grandfathers!!) were in the military. They both served prior to getting married so their experience might be different from my husbands. Both of them lived in barracks on base. Sometimes they tell stories about their experiences but what I've gathered from hearing them is that both lived with many other men and had a bunk bed lined up with the beds of other soldiers. My husband and I and our daughter want to live together on or near his base while he reports every morning for military duty (except Saturday and Sunday and Federal Holidays lol lol!!). What generally is the process? Also would I be eligible for child care? I'd like to register for classes at a nearby universities. Do military bases have universities nearby? Can I get a discount rate for classes? Do I have to pay out of state tuition? I am a Mathematics Major and finished a lot of the requirements for an Associate of Science (two year degree). I'd like to major in Applied Math with an emphasis on Statistical Analysis. Can I do that while my husband is serving in the capacity as a Private First Class or hopefully Specialist 4?
