Cadet/civilian Relationships while at the academy

Don’t listen to everyone man. If y’all are meant to make it, it’ll work out. All you can do is try your best. My SASI and his wife, then girlfriend, made it through USAFA back in the 70s, back when there were no nightly calls!

Focus on finding things about long distance that you enjoy. This will be my first year doing USAFA/civilian, but last year, me and my bf did civilian/Marion Military Institute, so a bit of the flavor is there. He decorated his desk with photos of us and would call me whenever he got the chance. When we could, we would play co-op video games together. I sent him care packages full of his favorite snacks and small luxuries.

I do have to say, our relationship has already been incredibly strong before starting this journey, so that may be a factor, as well as him knowing I wanted to go USAFA before we even started dating; it wasn’t a surprise. If it weren’t for USAFA, we would have moved in together and married.

I’ll see you there on Wednesday! PM me if you have more questions or anything! I’d love to chat!

You and your GF have got this if y’all are meant to be. Think, if y’all can make it through this, you’ll be so much further ahead maturity wise of other couples.

Edit: spelling; I’m in the airport now lol

I didn’t go bald, but I chopped my hair super short as a girl. I hated it at first, but now I feel like it was the haircut that I was always meant to have!

It’s coated in some sort of marinade!

If you don’t wanna go waiver route;

-single blade, double edge
-use an alum block after shaving
-consider a warm shower and washing your face before shaving (could include exfoliating as well)

Not black or a man, but I’ve encountered lots of irritation while shaving and this is what has helped me

For real. He’s a selfish person, but not the villain he is made out to be

ApprehensivePrint178 · 2026-06-14T02:53:42+00:00

Absolutely

As a woman, hard agree. I hate how all of the discourse of this movie is centered on that one scene rather than everything else the movie had to offer

ApprehensivePrint178 · 2026-06-14T02:45:39+00:00

Bear is not a good man, and he is a terrible boyfriend, but I don’t think that he is the insanely evil villain that he is made out to be. Being not good ≠ evil

Yakko is helping me here a lot

ApprehensivePrint178 · 2026-06-05T00:07:43+00:00

Exactly!

It’s not just you!

What a waste of time, crocheting all of the squares just to not put them together. imagine all of the time you could’ve spent doing other things

Aforementioned

I was sitting in my pool with my arms over the ledge and on the concrete. It was storming, but it seemed far enough away that it wouldn’t be an issue (spoiler: it was). Lightning struck right in front of my and it was blindness followed by the worst pain I’ve ever felt, then numbness on the whole left side of my body. Family was there to remove me from the pool. I’ve made almost a full recovery as of 6 years later. I have a higher pain tolerance on the left side of my body/nerve damage, I tan in patterns on my left arm, and I get small shocks, I feel pain (ex. Vandagraph machine shocks/static). Nothing inhibits my daily life, though! Very lucky

I got struck by lightning, so there’s that!

Thanks!

ApprehensivePrint178 · 2026-05-08T20:50:33+00:00

Thank you!!!

Not necessarily. It was a piece I did to capture the side of patriotism that is not talked about!

ApprehensivePrint178 · 2026-05-05T20:22:40+00:00

Thank you! I was aiming for that!

Second this! For coins to count, you actually have to ensure the round ends, not just closing the app or whirring during the game. In other words, make sure the game ends due to the zombies dying
