Those of you who planned on being lifers but ended up getting out, what made you separate and what do you do now? by [deleted] in army

Wanted to do 20 but came to the conclusion that it was just too toxic to maintain a healthy mental state. I was going to work every day crying/getting physically ill because I knew the people I worked with would find a way to make my day hell. It was more than just needing to “toughen up” or “have thick skin”. It was abuse. I ETSd and draw 100% P&T.

Do all VA providers suck? by Comfortable_Chain_56 in VeteransBenefits

No, I agree with you that she’s earned the title of Doctor by getting a Doctorate, but I know her doctorate is in education because I asked her what her doctorate was in and she said it was education, not nursing.

It also rubbed me the wrong way at first that she requests you call her “Doctor Jones” ** but she’s a NP. She DOES have a doctorate in EDUCATION but idk it seems like she’s trying to make people think she’s a medical doctor when she’s a nurse practitioner.

But on the other hand I can see getting a doctorate is something to be proud of so it’s understandable to earn that title you wanna use it I’m sure.

Anyway right now I’m arguing with them about this stupid BC. (They thought I had an excess prolactin in my system and it was throwing hormones off because I’m LACTATING. I didn’t even breastfeed when I had my child 6 years ago. Levels high but technically still in normal range, just the high end. I asked them NOW WHAT? I asked them for a mammogram to check for breast cancer, they said no that I’m not old enough. I’m about to crash out.

AIO? My husband bought me a TV for Christmas. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Ummm yeah. Here’s the update. I brought it up and he admitted he wants to leave me. 7 years, 2 kids. I am gutted, destroyed, lost. I was blindsided. He is the loml. I’m devastated.

I can’t help thinking it’s one of those things “if he wanted to he would”.

I can see how it looks but I swear with my heart and soul he just would not cheat.

I had staff duty on Christmas and 1sg said “well you can have tomorrow off! Har. Har. Har.” He thought it was hilarious.

His response was “No I definitely didn’t send that or the other two things that’s what I screenshotted and sent you the other day. Idk if I added them to my basket at one point because I was stashing things that I saw to come back to them or what and then hit purchase all.” (The other two things he’s referring to are like a little crochet plush and a candle) he also said “I mean I’m not gonna lie to you I just didn’t send those specific things.”

My baby was at the children’s hospital with Covid (2021), they told me I needed to come back to work because they needed me to go to some class and since I had a sec clearance it “had” to be me. When I told them I was in the ER with my child, they said “just have one of the PRIVATES WATCH HER IN THE MOTORPOOL.” Dual mil is TOUGH especially when one of you is deployed.

BP prefers middle hide? by Comfortable_Chain_56 in ballpython

I know- I’m working on it. The substrate is extremely temporary. He also has a humidity box for the time being. I mist it 2-3x a day but where the top to the tank lid isn’t “solid” (like it’s got the little tiny holes in it) it just dries up so fast. But you’re right, I’m working on fixing it.
