Hiring Bid FAA-ATO-22-ATCEXP-80642

Imagine if someone approached you and gave you two options:

Option 1: I will buy you a house free and clear

Option 2: I will give you enough money to buy a house free and clear PLUS have some cash left over so you can furnish it, buy groceries, pay utilities, etc

Some people will choose option one because they don’t want to go through the home buying process and they’d rather someone else do it for them. But for the love of god don’t put someone down for wanting to make the money stretch a little further. I chose two. And that extra money covered my expenses, down to the last dime literally, until I got my first paycheck post-separation and I am forever grateful for making that decision.

Did you read ANY of the other comments before you decided to draft that scenario?

Moving yourself is fine. Dude wanted MAX money from the government, and whether he meant to “scam” or not, that’s the way it sounded. That’s all.

Done with this conversation.
 
The comment about the military giving free training is hilarious. You act like it isn’t a contract between two parties. They each provide something to one another, nothing is free. If getting more money for one last move is allowed, then why not do it? It’s all part of the contract both parties signed. If that really grinds your gears, wait until you find out about all of the people/businesses that scammed the government for millions during covid.

Or VA disability... not that people don’t have issues but it’s always the most jacked dudes that somehow are 100%

Scam the government? *chuckle*
Government will ALWAYS get theirs+tax. Big gov can handle itself it doesn’t need simps and white knights to defend it

I’ll play devils advocate, would you believe the guy who works out everyday that something hurts or the member who finally gets off their ass to test once every 6 months to a year that everything in the kitchen sink is broken?

I mean… let’s be honest. I absolutely hear your devils advocacy and it’s not that I disagree but. At the end of the day it’s none of my business. I was one of those “lazy” ACs that just did what I had to to pass my PRT and I got a lot of shit for it… from people who didn’t know I was a cross rate from aircrew that had to fight to not just get medically retired. Was literally just doing what I was able to, even if it looked like the minimum from the outside. Everyone has their shit. If their shit just happens to be that they suck, that’s on them. ??

I agree, everyone’s situation is different and if something hurts claim that shit. Let the VA doctors determine what you get. I just thought it was a decent topic of discussion considering “the jacked guys” get the higher VA disabilities.

You’re 100% right. It’s always interesting to see what people claim or claim to claim, if that makes sense. I’m with you that: if it hurts, claim it. My baby toe spent a decade smashed inside a boot for 10+ hours a day and now it ouchies sometimes. Fuck it. ?
 
I think it's an insane take to think just because someone is healthy going to the gym consistently that they should be less likely to have a disability.

One of the most jacked guys I've ever met has 80%, most of it being from a hernia mesh implant. It's also very possible to have some sort of mental disability. I know it's a taboo word but there are controllers with VA disability for depression and cleared to work.

My take on all this shit, dity move and all. I personally am not going to load cinder blocks in my moving truck or claim PTSD because that one trainer made me carry around a brick. If it's not directly affecting you, why do you care what other people are doing with their DITY move/disability?
