PSA: There is a fake institution trying to recruit service members from surrounding #military installations in CO. The entity is Thessalonika A. Embry University. They are no way affiliated with DOD, #Army, Fort Carson or Embry-Riddle. Please alert others of this scam.

#GIBill School Certifying Official here to remind y’all: if an SCO asks a #college advisor for a course adjustment, it’s for the good of the student using VA Ed Benefits. Audits on this semester usually happen years later, & it needs to be on file NOW to defend the certification.

Autistic SCOs exist.
Autistic advisors exist.

It's like art: you may see the world differently, but by sharing and trying our best to mutually understand, we all have a richer experience.

@fatimatassadiq English is my first language, but I'm neuro-divergent, so I can confirm "too tired to talk in English" can also be true for native speakers.

@SamSykesSwears Seriously? Why wouldn't anyone eat cheese after 9pm? It doesn't compute, especially if you had dairy for dessert...

@iSmashFizzle Consider the implications for early teenage pregnancy. Girls build up their own bone density in adolescence. A pregnancy in this period erodes it, with less ability to rebuild it later in life. We are not used to thinking about pregnancy from the women's point of view.

If you work with student records, don't forget to run your secure file cleaner occasionally. I use CCleaner. What do you use? #ProtectPII #SCOLife.

@JustinAion Aren’t English teacher taught how to use definitions anymore? Let’s test it. If a doctor were only still a doctor if they had regular patient rounds… See it doesn’t hold up.

What happens when an SCO says that some part of the VA isn't working? "I gave you answers that are correct and appropriate. I'm sorry you didn't like them but they are the truth." Also "CHAMPVA is currently working school certs and other updates that came in on March 10, 2022"😲
