this LOSER was actually working on my MOTHER and he was so easily proven a liar!
WHAT ELSE IS HE LYING ABOUT CONCERNING HIS CREDENTIALS???
Have they explained her short term memory loss? Sounds almost like a light stroke.
God bless your Mom, Race. Prayers for her health and her care during her illness.
A good portion of your post is rather intelligible. I am guessing you think this “guy” fabricated prior service and that is justification for not “working on” your mother anymore?
Was he negligent in her care??
I am curious what patient relations rep reply was to you when you told her to “to force this guy to present a DD-214 and to check his credentials”.
that’s funny, everyone else got it...
she seems to clear up after 9am or 10am
That is when I have been leaving the hospital, I stayed a little later today, she just perked up for some reason, I was stunned
My sister has a senile/insane MIL, she says that until breakfast digests a little, she is looney but once vitamins get flowing, she is much more managable
So, due to my college schedule, I usually only see her early in the day, every day, and she is never with it when I see her, and that includes seeing her the last 3 days in the hospital, there to see her when she wakes up and thenext 4 hours until older sister shows up
it might explain a lot of my observations and why one sister isn’t so negative, but we all do NOW agree that 24 hour care is mandatory
Good. The time you see her probably does explain it. Vitamins and nourishment do make a difference, especially with elderly folks. My mother says she can “gather her thoughts better” after she has eaten breakfast and “stirred a bit”.
The reason I asked is that I know a lady who did have a light stroke that affected her short term memory. She sometimes asks the same questions repeatedly over a short period of time. However, the problem seems more noticeable some days than others. Her stroke didn’t leave any outward signs over the long term, although it had caused minor symptoms in one arm and hand for a while at first.
The fact that each of you are seeing her at different times does complete the picture. That’s how the children of the lady I mentioned learned her needs as well.
Army Military Occupation Specialty.
My husband is a retired Coast Guard Chief and I was enlisted for a short time.
I have no idea what a MOS is either. And I have never heard of the term “E number”. LOL!
By the way Chief, thank you for your service!
Rating.
“Ooogiewoochiekoochiekoo ?”
Seriously? You dont remember your MOS number?
91B (Combat Medical Specialist)
BCT 1st Platoon Bravo Battery 3/321st FA Ft Sill, OK (DS Wiltcher and DS Hill)
AIT 3rd Platoon Alpha Company 232 Medical Brigade FT Sam Houston, TX (DS Witherspoon)
What did ya go to “A” school for Chief? It has a corresponding number in the Army, Air Force and USMC. Im pretty sure the Navy must have something similiar?
I know it was “13” but the letters changed multiple times, as I moved from field artillery to missles. I think 13M was the last one.
Rifle Serial? Pfft. I can’t remember my SSN.
I knew my MOS. MLRS Crewmember
The number? 13 something.
Chief, all that time and you never worked with Marines?
It would be like me asking you what your rate was. :)
Mom AND Dad were WWII Navy
Navy didn’t really use ‘spec #’s’ other than a rating within a rate....
I was a Radio Operator, my paygrade E5 and as far as it went was called RM2....Sea Service personnel don’t usually ask each other what their MOS is and a Marine will usually just give his ‘title’...Gunny/Sgt/Lance Corporal etc...
I would tell a Marine I was RM2 and then ..that is E5...
The Navy has job classification #’s but they were basically for admin purposes and the average Radioman didn’t know he was a 2300 something or other,
Race is 100% correct though, if the guy lies about his service, he is probably lying about something else in his background....
13 Redlegs? LOL
Yeah, I heard the Army changed all their MOS numbers
is an 11B still an 11B?
By the way, Mom is MUCH better!
It was NOT him that gave her the nebulizer this morning, they paid attention to that. She is much better, by the way, so, I am assuming most of her loss of memory is dehydration and malnutrition. She has been force fed fluids since Monday, ate 3 square meals with fruit almost all meals, milk, lots of tea, plenty of conversation, too, so attention given to her must have perked her up some, too
She’ll be her normal, obstinate, cranky self in no time! And that’s a good thing! I thought monday was the big one, and I have to admit, I was so afraid of crushing her chest trying to restart any heart attack I was going to let her go if she passed out. trying to save her would have crushed her ribs. I was numb, I was going to let her go...
But, not to be! :)
I want her around some more, I aint ready yet! :)
Redlegs indeed.
Nothing like a “limo Bradley” as we called it.
Enough room to stretch out and take a nap, and because our were speced for the British, we had this cool spigot that heated water for “tea” (or for us, Cup O’ Soup or instant coffee or whatever). Infantry followed us around just for the hot water.
Blew up a lot of high value targets that I couldn’t see.
The Army changed alot of MOS numbers, but I believe that they were all non combat arms related. I know a bunch of the Medics I served with were pissed off, when our MOS lost its “Bravo” designator. 91B Combat Medical Specialist went to 68W Health Care Specialist, im not sure if the Army did that to lure more qualified people to that MOS and figured it would sound less scary..
