Just got my first felt hat.

So I got this off Marketplace for 115 and it has this tiny little hole on the crown. Is it repairable and where should I take it? What should I get to properly take care of it? What does 4X Beaver mean in terms of actually beaver fur content? Any idea of the actual age of the hat? I see no other information other than whats in the pics. Im in Jacksonville, NC and what to find a place local to possibly replace the sweatband. I know this is an older hat so should I keep it looking the way it is or should I customize it to be mine?

Inspo from a post from yesterday

Someone took the cloth off a google home mini and posted it yesterday and someone else in the comments posted a picture of it completely taken apart and it got me thinking. How possible would it be to wire it to a better speaker or audio system to make it sound better and how well would it work with the apps equalizer? Could you theoretically build it into a surround sound system in a home theatre or in a shop/garage?Original Post

Someone who has done it or has the tools to do it. Are you willing to try for science and share the results?

Rant about medical.

Feel free to share yalls shitty experiences too but I gotta rant to people who relate and understand.

TLDR; My injuries were underexplained or downplayed to minor issues and now I have to be put on a medboard.

I used to be stationed on Cherry Point and well hated it there. I got injured and kind of recovered because of how backed up things were all the time. It was always a month out before being seen and made issues hard to get seen when they needed to. I have a lot of issues with my knee and hip. A lot of times I got the run around or was told that it wasn't super serious. Such as my knees just had "inflammation of the fat pads" or just had "fluid in my hip" which would go away with time.

Now I am on Camp Lejuene and got the same injury again. Physical Therapy actually paid attention and sent me to Sports Medicine for some of my issues. When at sports Medicine they have given detailed info about my injuries such as my knee has a severely worn meniscus which was never even mentioned. Today I just learned that my hip MRI in 2023 showed that I had a torn labrum which I was never told about. So after new scans there is a good chance that I may need to get surgery. When if it was taken care of right on Cherry Point. I could have gotten injections to properly relieve pain and more. I wasn't able take care of my body and make informed decisions because I wasn't informed on everything wrong at Cherry Point. Looking back I remember everything felt like a rushed way to get you back into the fleet instead of actually fixing the problems.

So here is to a possible surgery and 100% going medboard. 🍻 Love the Corps but sadly my time is coming to an end.
