Sorry, No.

I think it's extremely important that you work your way out of the mess you put yourself in. Prove you are not one of those people who expects someone else to bail you out. Get 2 jobs, get 3 jobs, collect bottles, sell everything you own, cut expenses whatever it takes. Not saying you do, but if you still have a smart phone and paying for internet service to post this message, you're not serious about it.

You did, you fix it.

Smart phones are completely an indulgence in the USA. The carriers here charge 3x what they do in places like Japan, and have horrible coverage compared to most first world countries. If you're blowing money on those, I agree, needs to get cut off.

My guess is this could be 'corrected' with a pair of wire cutters and a little 'courage', and would heal up in about 6 weeks.

Many people got 'no ear lobes' to begin with, which I consider less attractive, but must be better for cramming on tight helmets and other headgear.

I remember some big 'scandal' about some USAF(?) badass unit graduates being 'hazed' by having their new badge's pins(a whole 1/4" long) being pressed into their chests and drawing a little blood. IIRC, these were supposed to be 'combat rescue' or something and expected to break their own legs behind lines and still be rescuing OTHER guys, etc.


However, I highly recommend you take a day and spend a little quality time at your local vet's hospital and ask around, and look around, and take a big wiff of the smell and ask yourself, is THIS how and where I'd like to spend much of the rest of my life? Remember that BEFORE their service, those were all happy, healthy guys.

I work full time, but i'm paying a full paycheck and a half on rent and utilities. I don't spend frivolously and am currently hiding every last dime I can spare for the surgery. Helping myself isn't the issue, it's living paycheck to paycheck and barely scraping by as it is. Hence why i've started a go fund me. I need financial help.

You stated the surgery is $1500 and that you need $1500.

Sorry, it doesn't sound like you have done anything for yourself other than build up the "courage" to ask for a handout.

If you are "hiding every last dime" you at a minimum would need $1499.90 and not $1500.

Did you sell off the jewelry that caused you this problem? Now at a minimum you should "only" need $1498.90


Is that you in the picture?

Did you sell off the mic?
Now at a minimum you should "only" need $1497.90

The guitar?
Now at a minimum you should "only" need $1496.90

See how this works...? It's what adults deal with on a daily basis.

Sorry if I come off as cold but most people have a sad story at some point in life.

What have YOU done about this problem YOU have created for YOURSELF...?

Hey heads up s a matter of ****ing fact. YES. the guitar was sold. and the mic well, it was a friends mic, I played the show as a benefit to raise money for his little brother who died of cancer... you know, giving a handout for those in need.
Sorry you sound like a bitter prick, but it wasn't some huge **** up I created. I used to work in the body modification industry. Just so happens that's what I did for a living. That's no longer my means of an income. SO, now I'm seeking a different occupation. One I can be proud of, and one that just so happens that I need HELP getting into. Frankly **** off.

kids...

Hey heads up s a matter of ****ing fact. YES. the guitar was sold.

and yet you need $1500 / $1500

the mic well, it was a friends mic, I played the show as a benefit to raise money for his little brother who died of cancer... you know, giving a handout for those in need.

Good for you. This is the proper attitude that can take one far.

Sorry you sound like a bitter prick

I'm not bitter at all. Rather it would seem you are bitter. Ask for something, not get it, and in typical millennial mindset throw a little temper tantrum.

it wasn't some huge **** up I created.

It's just keeping you from doing what you want to do. This is the wrong attitude to have. Accept responsibility for your actions. It's what men do.

now I'm seeking a different occupation.

Understand this. Right away. The military is so very much more than an "occupation".

just so happens that I need HELP getting into.

Shane, try to not be so short sighted that you don't realize people here actually are trying to help you.

There's an interesting little story about this guy that was hungry. He was given a fish, and ate for a day. Later he was taught to fish, and ate for the rest of his life.

Suppose you get the money you seek. Then what? Head down life's path until your next problem? Then back to kickstarter?

You need to learn to fish.

Frankly **** off.

kids...

[j-shot]

I don't have time for *******s. Nor selfish folk with no concern for others.

Shane, Shane, Shane. I didn't even notice this.

You quit...?

After a few days..?

kids...

Try not be a quitter heading into the military. It will not serve you well.
