re: Want to retire at 25? Go military

Posted by BOHICA on 7/16/26 at 10:48 am to
I signed-up for a 5yr enlistment (35E). Never saw combat. I was knocked off of a ladder while moving shelters from the Deuce and a halfs to LMTVs at Fort Gordon (63rd Signal Battallion). Two soldiers charged with securing the ladder while I tighted to straps decided to wrestle while I was on the ladder. Down I went. Broken collar bone. Broken arm. Torn rotator cuff. Concussion. I'm lucky I didn't break my neck.

I went through a Med Board and was awarded a 0% rating. VA rating when I got out? 0%, but at least they service connected it. I'll be 50 in January and staring at major shoulder surgery (again) along with other issues with my back and hips. I'm struggling with the thought of filing with the VA, because I've never been right since the accident, but don't want to be one of those guys that is taking, since I am still working.

I get both sides of what has been said across these two threads, but I take exception to those that think severe injuries don't happen in training or daily tasks. Lot's of assumptions being made in those comments. I've seen catastrophic injuries happen in training, much less daily work (depending on the MOS).

I'd like to see them shut the Nexus Letter mills down. That would be a good start. I also know that for every bad Nexus Letter, you have legit issues being kicked back by raters that are not consistent or C&P exams that are not conducting properly.

Not replying to Centinel directly, just adding to the conversation. :usa:

I live in Central Florida. Absolutely no pulse for Crist here. Zero chance Crist wins. :lol:
As a Floridian, IDGAF what anyone in any other part of the country thinks. We intend to let our kids be kids.

I live in Florida. We're fine. It's crickets from the Dems inside Florida, where they have exactly nobody to run against DeSantis for Gov next year. Maybe she should settle in for 4 more years of him destroying there bullshite narratives.

Live in Lake, work in Seminole. The Trump support dwarfs the Biden support. Trump is in good shape.

Northern suburb of Orlando checking in. Biden has nowhere near the enthusiasm Hillary had 2016. He's fricked. :usa:

I live 12 miles from there. Anyone saying that Biden is winning this part of FL is high AF.

I live in Central FL. I have not seen one single Biden sign. Not. One. Anecdotal? Yes. But there is no energy for him here at all.
I'm in rural Florida (Lake County). All I can tell them is they can frick around and find out. The amount of .556 on my street (5 of us are prior military) would not be considered minor. No fricks will be given. :usa:

I live near The Villages. I know EXACTLY what you're talking about.
