Someone on my Facebook posted a picture that says "Republican: the party that doesn't boo God." my eyes rolled out of head. I hate stupid shit like that.

I too wish Stan lived closer. And you. And most anyone.

H is at SERE so I can't talk with him. I'm bummed to the max because I have been so super stressed and this move and the past two weeks have just been sooo stressful. It would have been so nice to chat with him about it. But I didn't want to bitch on here, because he's just at training so it feels silly. Whomp whomp.

I bought a peacock phone cover and love it sooo much. I would decorate with a peacock theme if I thought Dh would go for it. Hmm I should just buy it when he doesn't live here! Haha.

Oh KC if you were near me, you could be watching hunger games with me. I meant to text you that I was watching it!!

[ilovecandy]

I miss H and haven't talked to him in days. I also had a job interview today!

[meltoine]

Beans! My H is at SERE too! I wonder if they're new BFFs now. FIL and I are drunk together. It's awesome.

I felt our most intense earthquake since we've been out here this morning. I freaked out, then kind of hoped it would put me in labor. No luck so far.

You are in AL Beans?

no my H is there for SERE. I am considerably north of there

[twoslicehilly]

Oh yeah, woke up to an email that our tenants didn't pay their rent. We are also pretty sure their children were taken away from them by CPS a month or two ago. I think he was NJPd and lost pay and now they can't pay rent. If they don[t pay by the 15th, the eviction process starts. I'm interested to know where " All the money from the church" they got after their daughter was found in the blinds went.

H was talking about what goes on while at MEPS tonight. Now I'm panicking because I didn't think about how my visible scarring would be a disqualifying issue. The ones on my wrist are covered up with a tattoo, but there are a lot on one of my thighs too and H says they check you out naked. I'm seriously considering getting a cover-up tattoo before I try to go to MEPS now.

I was looking forward to making my favorite recipe (chicken pancit) all day. But after 30 minutes of cooking, I fucked it up and had to get take-out from our favorite wrap place. Bummer, I absolutely HATE throwing food out!

[ilovelamp]

Just in case anyone wants it:

Soooo good. And it's really easy, I was just overly tired tonight and not paying attention.

[kpol]

We went out last night and had quite a few drinks and I'm pleased to announce I'm not hungover! YAY

I feel like if I told them about the cutting then I would also have to disclose the fact that I was on anti-depressants and went to a therapist (both of which my recruiter told me not to mention because he was certain it would disqualify me).

I don't want to lie about this crap but I feel like I've put all my chips in one pile and I need it to work out /

[Smurfette]

VC- P had cut himself before (his recruiter knew and the AF knew) when he signed up. He had therapy and was on meds for quite awhile. I am not sure if that helped or not. P said it all counts on if you are mentally fit now

VC, please take this comment with the kindness that I intend it to have.

They are going to notice your scars, regardless how many tattoos you put on them. It is going to look better for you to say, look this is what happened and this is how I dealt with it and its over now. Or whatever. But to have such severe physical evidence and then just to pretend like its nothing and never was anything is going to set off some major red flags. If they think you never have dealt with that issue then they are going to DQ you anyway. If I was the psych in charge of clearing you, and realized your past by noticing your scars, but you never mentioned it? I would think you were in denial or lying or never dealt with it and not think you to be stable enough to serve.

Just having received therapy is not an automatic DQ but I'm fairly certain lying on your app is. I know I girl who was already in and had a past issue she never sought therapy for, it wasn't like a huge disqualifier for her to get in or anything (she was upfront about it). She was going to be up for higher level of clearance and she was told she needed to get therapy to deal with that past issue because it would look better for her clearance- make her look more stable and able to cope with things.

If your recruiter is telling you to lie especially about something so big and so evident, he's stupid and wrong. And (NOT that I'm recommending this) but if you were to lie about that stuff during your entrance (again, not advocating that) but you better be damned ready to continue to lie about it the whole rest of your career and never let it come out, even casually, because it is a huge dang deal if you lie about things to get in and they find out later.


ETA if you want me to delete this later let me know and I will
