Update on Possible DEP DISCHARGE?
So I asked a few days ago a question bout being discharged for my ankle. Many said it depends on Meps but I have a good chance. My recruiter is taking me to Meps Tuesday for an inspection by a Meps medical doctor(s). Any advice on how to handle questions to make sure I'm not considered unfit for duty? Because honest to god my ankle feels as of nothing ever happened. It was a sprain, nothing more nothing less.
1 AnswerMilitary8 years agoDEP Discharge question?
I'ma keep it short. Currently a Poole in the USMC schedualed to ship out December 2nd. Sprained my ankle October 30th, against my wishes my mom took me to the hospital, she wouldn't stop nagging me. Got a discharge paper, and was told to stay off it for a few days and I'll be fine. 2 days later I can walk normally, 5 days later I was back to running and training, with no problems. Last saturday I took my IST, and passed. From there a gunnery sergeant made us fill out some paper asking if we did drugs, had police involvement, or medical issues while in the DEP. I told him I went to the hospital for the ankle, and he said give me recruiter my discharge paper from the hospital and I'll be fine. My Recruiter calls me today and says I shouldn't have done that and there is a possibiity I might be discharged. He said if someone at MEPS reads the paper I might be in trouble and won't go to basic. What are my chances of being discharged for this ridiculous reason, I'll be absolutely devestated. God Forrbid I am discharged, would I be able to join any other branch of service?

1 AnswerOther - General Health Care8 years agoNJDirect put down wrong name on ticket?
So I got a speeding ticket in Jersey on Monday, and when I log onto NJdirect today to see if it's payable, I noticed they put my middle initial wrong. My NYS drivers license has my first name, last name, and middle name. My middle Initial is a G, but the initial is written as E where it says drivers name. Does this mean the ticket is not valid? Also, the fine I have to pay is less than I expected, but i'm more worried about points on my pointless license. If I take this to court, and offer to pay MORE money if it means not getting points, is that possible, or even worth my time?
2 AnswersInsurance & Registration8 years agoneed help with school troubles?
today in school I was called down to the principles office. My principle showed me a printed page of a tweet I made a few days ago, regarding my home room teacher. I basically said the f bombs a few times, and called her a slur based on her ethnicity. This was from my own laptop, after school, and it was non threatening, just very deragatory. I live in NYC and education is regulated by the NYCDOE. The principle and I are on good terms, so I didn't get into too much trouble, a few after school detentions at most. My concern is, is the school allowed to do this? some teacher idk about printed it out and showed my principle. Am I allowed to get in trouble for this? I thought I had freedom of speech? just to clarify, I didn't say anything threatening, I said she was a Jap ****, but that's the worse of it. please answer me.

My pug is a chubby little thing who loves food. I know they can't have onions or grapes, but what about apples? I know apple seeds are poisonous, but what if I cut it into slices and feed him small bits? Also can he have blueberries? I fed him a few and he didn't really like them but ate them anyway.
2 AnswersDogs10 years agotalking to little cousin about dieting?
today my aunt asked me to talk to my cousin about his eating habits, and loosing weight. He isn't obese, but over the past year and a half his eating habits haven't been the best. He eats a lot of crap, cookiees, loves pasta, dressings, the whole 9 yards. he's gonna be 12 in october, is about 5"2 and anywhere between 125-130 pounds. Like I said, he isn't fat, but I have noticed the weight gain, he's got a little belly, tities, and a chin. My other cousin is an *** and always calls him fat, and it upsets him. My aunt wants me to talk to him but idk how to, because he is a very stubborn and spoiled little boy, both of my cousins are. I mean I am a bit of a health nut myself, having lost over 100 pounds, but my cousin is VERY VERY spoiled, please gimme tips on how to talk to him. He isn't in extreme danger of being obese, but I fear that if he doesn't change his habits, then he will grow up with them, I rather he loose weight now, then when he is in his teens like I did, because it ruins you.

Well I ran total 7 miles today, 2 in the afternoon around 4:00, and then 5 around 8:00, and half a mile cool off
breakfast: 1 serving of instant oatmeal: 160 calories
a banana
2-egg omlett

I ate about 1500-1600 calories which isn't bad, but I am worried about my lack of fruit variety, I had 3 apples, but usually I have rasberries, blackberries, and pineapple or peach. Is it bad I had this many apples? Or is it ok because i substituted other fruits?

3 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoNeed some help with loosing last couple of pounds?
I just want to loose 10 pounds before July. I'm around 150ish right now, but my problem is every week I am really good, loose like 4 pounds and then I blow it on friday and saturday, and gain it all back by monday. It's been like this for 2 months now. I almost achieved my goal, by getting down to 145 during spring break, but then blew it and got back to 154 due to extreme binge eating. Yesterday I did it again and now I am 153, from 149 yesterday :(
I need a way to curb my appitite. I don't even eat cuz I am starving, I eat out of bordeom.
I love excersize, I run everyday 5-6 miles, and I do 15-30 minutes of strenght training before my run. I generally eat between 1500-1800 calories a day. I can control my cravings all week, but come friday, it goes out the window. What can I do to stop this, because I could've been in the 130's by now if this didn't happen.
I'm 17 years old, 5"9 and 153 pounds. I know I am at a healthy height and weight, but it's been a goal of mine for so long to see 130's, just to see what it's like. I know I'll look stickly, but after I see it just once, I'll start strenght training, focus less on running and more on weight training, and gain 10 lbs of muscle. But I need to see it, it's my dream. Please tel me what to do.

1 AnswerDiabetes1 decade agoGetting rid of excess skin?
I used to be obese, 262 pounds, and now I am 147, tthrough dieting. The thing is I lost the weight quick. The first couple months I can loose 3-4 pounds a week, and after that it'd be anywhere between 2--2.5. I always lost more than a pound. I started my diet on august of 2009, andofficially finished april of 2010, where I got down to 162 pounds, gained 20 during the summer, and up until now slowly lost and gained. So anyway, whetehr I was 162 or 147, as I am now, I got this loose, excess skin on my lower belly. I am really self consious about it and refuse to take my shirt off at the beach. My peers make fun of it for me. I tried building up my 6 pack to get rid of it. I built muscle there too, it is really hard when I flex, and it shows too, but the skin is still there. How can I get rid of it without surgery, because my mom doesn't wanna have me go through surgery, and I can't do it till I acctually have a job, which by then I will be like 30 -__-
Please help me. I am 5'9, 17 years old, and around 147 lbs

2 AnswersRunning1 decade agoGained 2 pounds in a day?
Yesterday I had about 2800 calories. A little more than usual.but I burned 1000 calories total through excersize. So maybe I was about 300 calories overdue, but how did I gain 2 pounds???? Is this water weight? I did have some russian salami before I went to bed, with swiss cheese.
6 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoHow'd I do today with food and excersice?
8:00: Hour run, burned 800 calories ( I know it's not accurate but just bear with me, the treadmil is so so)
9:30: Breakfast was 2 bowls of honey nut cheerios with a cup of milk, bowl was some what big so 500 calories total
11:30: 1 banana, medium size, tbsp of honey, and slice of salami
12:15: 1.5 mile run to the boadwalk, half an hour of one wall handball/paddle ball, 1.5 mile run back to apartment, estimated 400 calories?
1:30: Lunch: 2 packs of instant quacker oatmeal, 160 calories each, about 2 tbsp of honey, so 320+120= 440
1:45: nap
4:45 woke up. Cup of blueberries, and 3 russian wafers, 100 calories each, so 400 about for afternoon snack
6:00: another run, about 45 minutes, 650 calories burned
7:30: Dinner, pretty big dinner, Vareniky (ukranian equivilant of dumpling) entire bag about 420, cup of wholegrain pasta, 200, and salad with 80 calorie dressing, 680
9:00: Hour run, 850 calories burned on the treadmil
10:15ish, moderate 10 minute weight lifting, moderate effort
11ish: 2 peices of 50 calorie whole wheat toast with a bit of honey for post run snack.
So assuming I had approx 2500 calories today, and burned approx 2700, will I still loose weight?
