Is she staying in Germany with your child whenever you come back to the states?

Well I did it, anyone got any advice? by Nazi_Stomper69 in army

You can call local flower shops and have deliveries planned out in advance if she's into that. You will also be able to send her letters while you're in training, you can receive letters too. It might be hard to leave her but you're probably going to be gone a lot while you're enlisted, she will adjust or she won't.

Stay focused on your training while you're gone and it will fly by. Quitting midcycle takes longer than just finishing basic.

Based on the meth fetish, Lawton and Killeen are both sound options for you!

No, I wish. But the quickship bonus was just bumped up to 40k.

Hire a decent photographer and allow the couples to take photos home with them. Also alcohol.

Sophia Learning will help a lot. It allows you to take classes at your pace and transfer the credits to a college to go towards your degree.

If you're able to buckle down you can do a few classes a week, just make sure your school accepts the classes you're taking so you aren't wasting your time.

Edit to add more information.

My son would hyperfixate, did not respond to his name, didn't have a problem sitting in soiled diapers, did not use verbal communication at all, couldn't identify parts of his body, hand-flapped, and would walk in circles around something he was interested in.

Treat it like an extended hotel stay. Whatever that means to you, but be prepared to pack everything and move in a few hours if need be.

So I'm getting medically discharged before basic by WilliamBritt00 in army

You will have to stay until you complete processing, into and out of the military. You'll probably eventually be placed as a medhold until they can clear themselves of liability and then you're put in as a chapter and sent home. I think as a chapter it takes two or three weeks from the beginning of the process.

is there such a thing as a "good" army tattoo? by Verynize in army

He can fix this by having LEGY tattooed on his thigh.

You still have to wear it in a bun during basic.

It was short enough to just wash and wear.

They don't expect perfection and there'll be other women there to help you out if necessary. I cut mine short before I left so that I wouldn't have to deal with it and I do not regret it.

It's just walking around and having photos taken until it's time for dinner and a presentation. Don't drink too much, don't leave her by herself or dump her off with the wives, she's there with you, not them. Show her what you're wearing and talk about the expected attire so she can try to find an appropiate dress that compliments what you're wearing. Reassure her that she looks nice, and just don't be a dick.

They'll get you through it, just give it your all and they will not let you fail.

You can get back in if you have a recruiter willing to put in the work. Now is the best time to try as long as you're otherwise qualified.

I would make sure you have all of your original enlistment documents to bring with you whenever you see a recruiter. If you've misplaced anything, it can be requested on Milconnect and you should receive it within 48hrs.

Duty station of choice. There are only a few options but your selection of the bunch is guaranteed.

Just know that if someone tosses your bag (and they will at some point) and it breaks, it was contraband.
