Question #1:

How to get my NCO to go to promotion board?

I have maxed out my correspondence have 58 college credits have 29 on weapon card 227 pt card 1 GCM maxed out COA's. Now I have not deployed and have 4 yrs in service. Because of Stress fractures I now have a P2 profile. My NCO has told me he needs to see more leader ship out of me. I have done all I can and they keep telling me the same thing every month. He did say once he was tired of giving me the same counseling since I have no real reason keeping me back. What can I do to get my self to the board to get promoted if I get all the commander points and walk out of the board with an 140 I will have a 640 points. My mos is 92 f. Need some good advice to move in my career.

Question #2:

As an outsider, how can I protect the neighbor kids?

My neighbors are a family of 4 - Husband, Wife and 2 teenaged girls. The Husband is very verbally abusive to everyone in the family. Sometimes it's gotten so bad that my windows have rattled due to the volume of his voice. The Wife is in tears so often I'm surprised she has any left. The girls are very nice people but I've noticed them running with some bad crowds lately... one even got arrested for shoplifting, and the other for vandalism. I feel helpless and I've spoken to the Wife about this and she said that her Husband refuses to get any counseling because he doesn't think he does anything wrong. Would my calling child protective services be a viable option? Can I do it anonymously?

Question #3:

What First Aid courses offer useful training in my area?

I live in the Lincoln area (Lincolnshire, UK) and i am looking for First Aid Courses that I can work my way up through from level to level which could offer me eventually physical experience if I volunteered somewhere. I am 16 years old and in the future I am looking in to going to university as a student nurse and joining the T.A's medical services. You ofcourse need experience to join the T.A and they do consider student nurses but I am looking for (if possible because of my age) to do some physical volunteer work whilst I am at college before I apply for uni, if you get where I am coming from? lol I have just started college and I am studying Health and Social care level 3 which cover core units of effective communication in Health and Social Care, equality, diversity and rights, health, safety and security in care, lifespan development, anatomy and physiology, sociology and psychology and a number of hours on work placement, there are also optional units like supporting adults and counselling skills. The level its at is A-Level and I have a current basic first aid certificate which runs out next year. Anyway, is there any ideas on what I could do? lol sorry for babbling :) xx

Question #4:

HELP!!!!!!!!!how to get around my judicial record?

A little over a year ago, i got into a physical altercation with my roommate, and I was then suspended indefinitely for a year. My school called me and told me that I could return so, I returned. The University also told me that i would be placed on disciplinary probation for until i graduated from the school. I would like to join a sorority or even a non-Greek sorority but as I have heard you cannot really join sororities or non Greek sororities with a judicial record. Do you think there is any way possible to get around that? I am willing to maintain a 3.0 gpa, I am will to do endless hours of community service, I will go to counseling basically anything that will allow me to join a sorority! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question #5:

Would i get Anger Management classes if i did this?

So im going to court in two weeks and im also enlisted in the us army and im awaiting basic training. Well my ex-girlfriend didnt like the fact that i broke up with her and she called the cops on me saying i beat her up. I didnt hit her, i will never hit a woman, my mother raised me better. I called my recriuter and he said if i am found guilty or get any punishment what so ever like community service, counseling, anger management classes..anything i am automatically disqualified. Well i broke my phone that day with a bat..i know stupid fucking me!! Well the point is if i go to court will my actions of beaking my phone make the judge give me anger management classes? should i deny breaking the phone? am i screwed?

Question #6:

Should I disclose a long ago DUI on an employment application?

I'm middle-aged and applying for a new job in the travel industry (but would not be driving any vehicles). On the application, I was asked if I've ever been convicted of a DUI, which I was, once, 26 years ago. I went through the community service and counseling, etc. as required by court. Aside from one moving violation (non-alcohol-related) that I went to traffic school for to keep it off my record, I've had a sterling driving record and regularly get good driver discounts. My spouse thinks the DUI isn't on my record anymore. Should I disclose it?

Question #7:

depressed coworker talking of suicide... how can I help?

I work with another nurse who told me today that if she had a gun, she would kill herself. I know she has been depressed/despond for some time over finances/family etc . (I have only worked there a few mo's) I personally have a long hx of m. depression and I tried to share with her how counseling and meds helped. She responded by saying there was no way she could spend another dime for anything. I tried to respond by saying there is help, by contacting our local counseling service I know if she will state her case they will counsel her for $5 per session. (I've done it). I am amazed that she can still do her work. Is there any way anyone could suggest to me how to help her or to get her help.

Question #8:

Could I get a waiver for this? Joining United States Coast Guard?

When I was 12, I had six months of outpatient counseling. I was diagnosed with mild depression relating to my parent's divorce several years before, as well as social problems (AKA not having many friends) in the 7th grade

I was given no medication, and the therapy ended after that six months. I have not had mental health counseling or any medications--of any kind--since then.

This is the section of the Army Regulations of Fitness (used by all the branches of the military) that I am concerned about:

(1) History of mood disorders requiring outpatient care for longer than 6 months by a physician or other mental
health professional (V65.40), or inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility does not meet the standard.

Longer than six months. So if I received treatment for EXACTLY six months, will this require a waiver? If I do need a waiver, how likely will I get one?

Also, I plan on getting a psychiatric evaluation and letter from another doctor (this counselor cannot perform one) to show that I am mentally capable for militiary service and have no lingering symptoms.

Answers?????

Question #9:

Why do men not get access to shelters like women or counselling services/phonelines?

There are number news reports on youtube of men having to ring women's shelters to ask for help (as if they're gonna get treated equally by a women's shelter) isn't this gender inequality?

According to a men's rights lawsuit there are programs which (by law) exclude males victims from access to services.

So why are men not treated equally and should men have the right to protect themselves and their children from bad women, especially seeing as men cannot use physical force to defend ourselves because that will most likely result in him being imprisoned for "violence against women".

Question #10:

My kids drive me crazy please help me !!!!?

I feel like the best thing for me to do is at this point, relinquish my children into the care of their grandparents because I have had it. My kids cause me a great deal of anxiety, anger and depression. My 6 yr old is constantly talking about things that are inappropriate and caused me to get in trouble with the law. My child said that their privates hurt and it was red and the underwear was red. Upon thorough questioning by youth and family services, DSS, 2 doctors, a therapist for 6 weeks and all adults that my child could have come across, it was determined to be unfounded psychologically and medically. Come to find out, horseplaying that they weren't supposed to be doing and scared to tell the truth and being hit in the groin caused the issue. And by the way, I bathe and wash my child nightly and never noticed redness, burning and blood. And we talk extensively about good touches, bad touches and never feel scared or ashamed if someone does it to you. My child said that they were looking for attention and was sorry for saying that. They heard it off of a TV show. Now, I cut TV totally out. Now, my child is making up other stories about other people's privates getting smashed, someone's head getting cut off and just gory things. I've spoken too much about stopping these inappropriate conversations, time outs, restricting things and stuff. No use. It only stops for a short while.

This same 6yr` child lies all the time about completing chores, doesn't do them at all or hides the clothes that were supposed to be hung up and says Yeah I did it. This child has severe aversion to food. EXTREME PICKY EATER. I hate this, won't eat that but will devour junk food in 2 secs. Has to be threatened daily to not only eat a meals but to finish a beverage. I've had it. Asked me to buy a happy meal and threw the entire meal in the garbage claiming, I'm not hungry. It had been 4 hrs since breakfast. Are you serious. My other child and this child fight constantly. I feel like a referee. I hear you're mean, you're evil, I hate your guts and then a physical fight breaks out and I have to jump into it. I can't take it anymore. I hate being with them, I hate being their mother and I just have done everything from counseling for me, lowering my expectations, counseling for the kids, family taking the kids for a while. Even family don't want them around for the same things they do at my house. Their dad doesn't want too much involvement and I am soooo tired. I cry, I hate this experience of being a mother to them and I wish I could trade them for better kids. We've done counseling for 1 year. I am so desperate for some tips. Please help me. I take them to church and they are acting out physically at church saying this is boring and I want to go home I hate church. They are so awful, they distract me when I'm driving. Now, I have done a lot time outs WITH CONSISTENCY and a whole lot of discipline but I feel like I'm just getting a dry throat from talking too much. Help me. They are 6 and 8 yr olds.

Question #11:

Advice from mothers who have done this?

I had my daughter March 9th 2009. I raised her alone for almost a year battling her father for child support. On top of that Child Protective services stepped in not once but on three different occasions. I was a single mom trying to the best I could. My mom isn't really a mother towards me, so I couldn't run to her for help. what actually happened is CPS took my daughter from me and placed her with my mom. My mom made the first initial call. I was poor and broke, I had nothing. There is a lot more to the story, A LOT more. But what I'm initially saying is, I gave my daughter up. I felt like I was a huge disgrace to her. The only way I thought she'd have a normal life, a good one at that, was if I gave her up. My daughter's father Jeremy finally stepped in and is doing a good job with her, she also spends a lot of time with my mother, my dad, step dad, and four younger sisters. I decided to take a break and leave to Georgia, I didn't intend to stay but I did. I felt I couldn't go back. I felt I wasn't strong enough to go through it again. I still feel like I'm not strong enough for my daughter. I do want to be apart of her life. I feel so terrible. I feel worthless.

I'm talking to the moms that gave their child up for adoption. Everyone in my family hates me. They are all still mad, I accept that. I can't find any strength back home. I feel like I'm so alone there with everyone telling me what to do, parenting classes, counseling, be put on phsyc meds, go under a phsyc evaluation. Theres a lot. I didn't give up on her, I still don't. I give up on myself.

Has anyone felt this way? I don't want to battle with taking a pill every morning to make me happy, I've been there done that. How did you feel when you gave your child away so that you knew she'd be in a better place? I'm having the hardest time accepting what I did. I want to go back but I can't. I really cant. There is no life in me anymore. CPS took it out of me, my mother, dealing with baby daddy, my own father, and all the other little problems. I was so over whelmed. I felt like screaming and no one could hear me scream. Or that they did and completely ignored me. Someone please say something..... I dont want to hear how bad of a mom I am, I know that. I just dont have anyone to lift me up anymore.

Question #13:

My wife spends all her time with the kids - what do I do?

Married 17 years. 2 kids under 8. The wife and I are not getting along well at all lately. I'm actually writing this on the couch because I couldn't stand being near her after our fight. Tonight was our 'date night'. Her mom came to watch the kids. Went to a nice dinner, had nice conversation, things were going well. We planned on going to a movie after dinner, but couldn't agree on which one. The subject came up that we could just watch a movie at home instead, and save money. Sure thing-we have a very nice home theatre and hundreds of movies she's never seen. Her mom has already agreed to watch the kids so we could have a full late night out, so all we need to do is start the movie when we get home, right? No. She decides she hasn't spent enough time with the kids today, and tells me so, running off to do housework and play with the kids til their bedtime. What the?! It's our date night and she leaves me hanging! Her mom was still here the rest of the night too- and mom even told her to go hang out with me, that she will still put the kids to bed for us so we can still have our date night. Nope. Once it's past 9:30, I know she checks out and is done for the night, so movie and any time to spend working things out is out the window.

This is not unusual. She babies the kids. Don't get me wrong, I love the kids endlessly too, but as a Christian, I have always been taught that kids do not complete a marriage, the husband -wife relationship is more important than kids.

I don't know what else to do. I work hard, bringing in all our income. She is a stay at home mom. She often turns our regular conversation into arguments. She constantly bickers about something- my weight, our finances, the one chore I may have forgotten to do - anything can set her off. She has an uncanny knack of making me feel like crap.

And don't get me started on sex. We pretty much don't. I grow weary even trying to bring up the topic to her, because she always has an excuse - too tired, not in the mood, had a hard day with the kids, anything. I read somewhere that the definition of a sexless marriage is having sex 10 or fewer times a year. I'd say that's about right for us. She NEVER initiates it, and when it does happen, I get this feeling that she is rolling her eyes and just wants to get it over with and 'shut me up'. Not a very romantic setting. I can't shake the feeling that I am 'being serviced' rather than being intimate with my bride. She just can't seem to get into that frame of mind anymore.

I feel like she is disgusted with me and would rather be anywhere else besides with me. She seems so distant. She rarely encourages me in what I do, even with big successes and things I get excited about- I can't count on her to pat me on the back and tell me she's proud of me, even though I do these things for her.

All this said, I really do love her, even though it seems she has stopped loving me. I'm committed to keeping this family together, and want to make things work. Yes, we tried counseling a couple years ago, and it seemed to help for a while, but now it's worse than ever, and has been this way for about a year. I do so much to try to please her- providing a good stable lifestyle, I take care of the kids any time I can, even when she just wants to go have a pedicure. I do many things around the house, including all the handyman and remodeling projects. I tell her she's beautiful and a great mom. Everything SHOULD be ok, but it's not. Help! What do I do?

Good News: Restraining Order on Louisiana Ultrasound Law Lifted
James Tillman (August 24, 2010)

"For the first time in Louisiana's history, abortionists will be required to offer women seeking an abortion the opportunity to see the ultrasound image, hear a description of the image, and receive a print-out of the ultrasound. We look forward to seeing the positive results of this legislation in our state."

(Baton Rouge, Louisiana)—On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Ralph Tyson dissolved a temporary restraining order that he had placed on the Louisiana "Ultrasound Before Abortion Act." The order, which had been instituted at the request of lawyers with the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights, was dissolved after the involved parties signed a stipulation eliminating ambiguities in the Act.

"As we expected, the baseless lawsuit promoted by the Louisiana abortion industry to temporarily stall our 'Ultrasound Before Abortion Act' has been cleared up," said Benjamin Clapper, Executive Director of the Louisiana Right to Life Federation. "This life-saving piece of legislation will now go into effect in abortion facilities across Louisiana."

Ultrasound picThe law requires abortionists to perform an ultrasound on a woman at least two hours before her child is aborted. Abortion facility employees will be required to follow a detailed script, which will instruct them to inform mothers that they have the option at any time to see the ultrasound image, to hear a description of it, or to receive a printout.

The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, representing six abortion facilities and an abortionist, had filed suit against the law, alleging that the law was "unconstitutionally vague" and did not specify whether the law required the abortuary to force the woman to receive the printout.

Judge Tyson's decision followed a joint stipulation filed by the plaintiffs and by the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH), which specifies that Louisiana's ultrasound law requires the printout to be offered but does not require the provider to compel the woman to accept it.

"For the first time in Louisiana's history," said Clapper, "abortionists will be required to offer women seeking an abortion the opportunity to see the ultrasound image, hear a description of the image, and receive a print-out of the ultrasound. We look forward to seeing the positive results of this legislation in our state."

The order dismisses the Louisiana officials named as defendants, including Attorney General James D. Caldwell and Interim Secretary Tony Keck of the Department of Health and Hospitals.

"We congratulate the Louisiana Attorney General's office for successfully obtaining a judgment that clears the way for informed decisions," said Dorina Bordlee, Senior Counsel of the Bioethics Defense Fund, which drafted the legislation and provided pro bono legal advice to the Attorney General's office.

"Science tells us when life begins," she continued, "but the real question is when love begins. Legislative testimony confirmed that for many abortion-minded women, love began when they had the opportunity to see their unborn child on an ultrasound screen."

The law also requires abortion facilities to provide the woman with a list of facilities that provide free ultrasound services at least 24 hours before a scheduled abortion. Clinics had argued that they were going to be forced to shut down for violating the law, as the state had not yet supplied the list.

The joint stipulation provides that this provision will be enforced only after the Louisiana DHH distributes the list.

"Once we have the list of providers we can send out, then it is enforceable and we will enforce it. Until then, it is our position that the law is unenforceable," DHH spokeswoman Lisa Faust said.

Another CRR challenge remains extant; this one regards the constitutionality of a state law exempting abortionists from malpractice coverage when conducting abortions on "an uncomplicated and viable pregnancy" posing no risk to the life of the mother.

Question #15:

Some motivation please?

I am 28 and have never been married, I'm unemployed and living back at parents after getting fired. But, up until I got fired, I had a pretty good job, lived on my own since I was out of high school, went to college. I still want to go to med school I've done triathlons and am fairly athletic. I'm not perfect, but people who have known me for a long time really respect me. I always thought I'd have kids by now.

I was fired from my job for an "aggressive confrontation". The women I worked with had ganged up against me after I had a relationship with a higher up (not my boss but in my dept), and he dumped me for a girl closer to his age (35). The girls (and my boss) did everything they could to try to get me to quit my job but I hoped it would just blow over. I liked my job. Finally, I got upset when one of the girls (a new temp who had joined their group and wanted my job) wouldn't listen to me or help me, as usual, so I told her "Can you please just HELP me?!" in a raised voice, and someone in the hallway overheard me. (Also had some tardies and other complaints made about me in preceding 6 months by same girls. When I explained to my boss my co-worker's behavior, she stated that she did not think it was only my fault. But when I asked why I was the only one who was punished, she said because they thought that I had been the one that initiated it).

To make matters worse, I then dated a Muslim doctor who after 6 months, I found out he had a wife and kids in another state and he lied to me about his age. It was about the time I found out about that - that they were trying to get me to quit at work, and I just couldn't fight anymore. All of my grandparents had died in the previous couple years, too, and I am the only child near my parents, so I was being supportive of them, too. I kind of just gave up, and now I've been unemployed for over 6 months. Honestly, I haven't really tried to get a job in all that time. I have to go to re-employment services appointments, and I dread it every month. I was about to go to counseling, but I changed my mind because I started feeling better. I have a fighting personality, but this is really not me right now. I am pretty, smart, athletic. I have pretty good self confidence. I had exceptional grades in college with pre-med / biology degree and worked to support myself, had lots of friends, boyfriends. I keep thinking things will get better, but I can't seem to find any motivation anymore, and I am really feeling at a loss here.

Question #16:

Unsupervised Probation in Maricopa County?

Hi Folks,

I'm on unsupervised probation in Maricopa County. It's for a class 6 undesignated felony, which will be reduced to a misdemeanor after successful completion of the probation. The period of my probation is 12 months.

I paid restitution in full ($5000) on the day of sentencing, and also paid for the first 6 months of probation fees in a lump sump at the same time. I've also completed court-mandated counseling. I haven't had any violations or additional arrests.

I've been maintaining full-time employment, attending ASU, and have accumulated over 1,000 hours of community service (all voluntary-- none were required for my probation).

I submitted all this info to my P.O. about 5 months into probation, requesting early release. I think he is O.K. with that.

I'm wondering 1) how long might it take for all the bureaucratic stuff to be completed?
2) will I be notified when/if I'm released?
3) will it show up on the court dockets?
4) my odds of release pretty good?

Any input from P.O.'s or probationers would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks that's good to hear. But more what about the other Q's?

Question #17:

Email counselling by untrained volunteer - legal implications?

If said volunteer wrote as a disclaimer at the end of each email that they were NOT a trained counsellor and was just a volunteer, encouraging each client to seek help from SOS if they were in danger, could there be any legal complications for them setting up a free email counselling service?

Question #20:

Why is the sex who is more likley to come forward for help the sex who has more access to help and encouraged?

to come forward and avail of the help more?

Basicaly this sounds like the majority being helped more. There is far more help for females out there like self-development programs, self-esteem building, teamwork skills programs, counselling services, abuse hotlines etc... Yet even tho males are far less likely to ask for help males are not encouraged as much and even if males do find the strength to ask for the help there is not as much help out there and some of the programs for females blocks males from the help?

Is it sexist that there are far more programs and ecouragement for women and girls to come get help when they are the sex who does come forward for help more? Also why should one sex have more help or more access to help than the other because of their gender?
