My guesses would be:

Possibility 1) Loves a guy in Uniform.

2) Knows that if anyone gets out of line can just whisper to the CO/NCOIC and it's handled. Plus on military charters the people flying aren't expecting to be catered to hand and food, they're just happy they're not on a C-17/C-5.

That's assuming the C-17 is a cargo and you're in the side seats with plenty of extra space and not too many PAX. But if you were in one of these: https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6183/6106570504_668937af6b_b.jpg

Then you're stuck in your seat and it's considerably less comfy than when going with cargo.

My Sister got SSDI for chronic depression/bipolar disorder. She was denied repeatedly, however her suicide was sufficient evidence at the appeal, so her son got a shitty consolation prize I guess. Its definitely not an easy process no navigate, especially for those already struggling with mental health issues.

"My anecdotal evidence is better than our anecdotal evidence, so nyeah!"

Was mostly curious because I had some behavioral problems in school, not quite THAT direct, but still pretty antagonistic. Got suspended a couple of times but teachers didn't give up on me. I have a really good life/career now and I'm not sure where I'd be if my teachers had given me up as a lost cause.

Mostly just wanted to say to you, and any other teachers reading, that I was a shithead student, and I didn't get better while in school, but the efforts my teachers made DID have a positive impact, it just took a few years after I got out of school before the lessons finally worked their way through my thick skull. The fruits of your labor isn't always visible, but you likely have a positive impact on more lives than you realize based only on feedback/results in the classroom.
