Ok i got to the bottom of my pay fiasco....i signed up for perdiem in April of last year......so basically 1/3 of my wages were not shown or some nonsense from april to december. I am getting off of Per Diem on April 1st to be exact. Not worth it in my opinion...i signed up for it before i joined this forum and learned the details of it......the real details. So learn from my mistake and skip the Per Diem. It screws you when you apply for a loan...aka the home loan im in the process of
Just to close the book on the idle mystery I had, it was the gas pedal. Didn't fully test the SHDN button fully however, noticed it did at least delay the shut off. So you actually made like 40k schmud?
You know i really don't know......I need to go back and add it all up and see. I'm not making the same mistake twice this year i tell you. Plus once i get off my butt and do my disability claim i should be ok financially. I know ill be around 50% all of my friends i went overseas with got that much minimum or more. I am hoping on the local gig to go through so i can get back in college and rake in some gi bill money....i need a Harley!!
Depending on what you claim and how much you get yes you will be good with money. I am still waiting for mine to go through and it was submitted back in october. Kinda sucks I have been waiting this long but whatever because I get back paid to my EAS of October 16th so I should be getting hmmmm 7-10 in back pay. I have a lot of physical problems from the Corp. Being a grunt beats your body to hell.... I found out my right leg is 1/2 inch shorter then my left because of a knee injury I sustained while I was in and that knee is about 10* off of being straight when its fully extended. LOL I'm all sorts of ########## up.
I like doing local, its not as boring because your constantly tieing down a load or taking it off equitment. So i am sticking around filling in for local temporarly i guess till i can seek employment elswere
Yeah i hear you, i spent three years as an instructor at SOI and that even tore my knees down. I could imagine FMF does quite some damage to your body in a line company I have back problems and my right shoulder is pretty jacked from slinging the 100lb projectiles around all day. Sitting for long periods plays hell on my back, and is just enough pain to drive me up the wall
LOL But it was all well worth it. Great memories with great people in the only place in this country I will ever call hell.
Hey guys, how do you do a regen on the columbia? I followed the manual but got nothing when I tried it that way.
IIts got to be up to temp. Release and set the parking brakes, hold the Regen switch for 5 sec. No good you have a big prob if the Regen request light is on.
