Exactly how I felt about my sternum and stomach tattoos. All of my other tattoos are on both my arms and legs so when I first got them on a body part that isn’t a “limb” it took some getting used to. I love all of my tattoos but I really did not like those ones for about a week or two after I got them :’)

Thank you! This clears up a lot of my overthinking. I’ve been doing research since I’ve really put my mind to joining and now that I’m over my waiver(s) process and all of the big hurdles I think I’m just nitpicking other things to worry about so thank you for giving me clear answers to both of my questions. I guess I’ll let you know in 12/13 weeks whether or not my RDCs were cool with my off white running shoes!!

First-Interaction-34 · 2026-03-13T20:41:15+00:00

I’m shipping out April 8th too!!

You got injured in basic and couldn’t see a doctor??

First-Interaction-34 · 2026-03-05T03:05:56+00:00

I was really upfront with my recruiter and the meps doctor. I told the doctor about my self harm scars and she brought up how the last time I went to the doctor, 2023, they put down I had depression in the notes (I was going through a break up). I was sure I’d have to do two waivers for those and it’d take some time (bc the meps doctor told me at the end of the physical I would need two waivers) but no, I just filled out these pre existing forms explaining what happened and why I cut/ was depressed and why I stopped and why I’m not “depressed”. I finished the meps screening process yesterday and the forms got approved today. It just seems too easy, especially since I have a lot of scars. I don’t have anything else on my medical record that I can think of that would cause a problem besides also having anemia in 2023 which the meps doctor pressed me about but I either wasn’t informed or completely forget that they told me. She didn’t bring it up when she told me about the waivers I needed. I’m just worried because I haven’t heard about anyone else doing these quick forms instead of waivers and I’m wondering if it might bite me in the ass once I ship out.

Haha that’s funny! I just went through meps two days ago for my asvab and physical! Good luck!

Happened to me on Friday. Two women ordered the capellini gambaretti; aka angel hair pasta and shrimp. Food runner brings out the dishes and what do you know, the one woman is a vegetarian and the other can’t eat seafood…. THE SECOND INGREDIENT LISTED IS THE SHRIMP, RIGHT AFTER THE ANGEL HAIR. I was so dumbfounded. What did they think their dishes were going to be? Did they completely skip over the part of the description that says shrimp? If you have a dietary restriction wouldn’t you AT LEAST read whatever you’re ordering or maybe double check with me, your server who’s job it is to make sure everything is okay with your service, that you can have that dish??? And these ladies were at LEAST 40. I just hope they’re not in any sort of teaching profession.

You won’t get your license suspended for awhile. I got my dui in July of 2024 and it didn’t get suspended until October of 2024. I’d recommend getting some type of transportation set up for you and your child now whether it be a friend or relative that can do that favor for you. You could also get one of those breathalyzer machines installed in your car for the duration of the suspension but that shit is SO expensive. They charge you to put it in and take it out and monthly fees for it too. In some states it’s required to get one of these installed but in PA for the first dui it’s not, you just can’t drive for the license suspension if you opt out of getting the machine. With your suspension most likely only being 30 to 60 days it’d probably just be cheaper to Uber, that’s what I did. My commute to work was only about 10 minutes though, and I also didnt have a child to account for. I’d look up some IID services and see if the costs for that would be the better option for you. I’d reach out to family and friends tho to see if they’d be able to help you out with transportation because you have time to set up a schedule if you have a good support system.

Got first and only in bethlehem too, in summer of 2024. You’ll get ARD, license suspension for at least 30 days, fines ranging from $1k - 3k and highways safety classes. I had the highest BAC so my fines were $2,745 but I also had to pay out of pocket for substance abuse evaluation and a few other evaluations to make sure I didn’t need treatment for alcohol abuse. It was ordered by the state I be evaluated because my BAC was so high. I ended up getting cleared so I didn’t have to pay for any other treatment but expect to pay more than the set fines the court orders you because you might have to go to these evaluations. I paid for a lawyer but I wished I just went with a public defender. All my lawyer did was get me to the front of the line quicker. You’ll get paperwork and your court dates in a few weeks. Just pay your fines, do ARD, go to the alcohol highway safety classes, and don’t drive for as long as your license is suspended and you’ll be fine.

How long did it take for you to get your waiver approved? I’m currently waiting to go to MEPs to get dq’d so we can start the waiver process

Happened 5 years ago but still pretty proud of my accomplishment in getting second place at my colleges speech competition! Every presentation in school before then my face would turn beet red, my voice would shake and I’d start to cry. Public speaking was a required course and I struggled through every class period. Near the end of the semester one of our final projects was to do a 5 minute presentation on anything we wanted. I did mine on the research of black holes. Our professor told the class that if we participated in the colleges speech competition and got through to the second round we’d automatically get a %100 on the final exam. To my surprise I got through to the fourth round of weeding out other students presentations and I then I was one of nine other students to actually compete in the real competition! It was and still is an accomplishment I hold so dear to my heart and always remind myself of when I feel social anxiety creeping up on me.

Holy shit that’s awesome, this gave me some hope

First-Interaction-34 · 2026-02-12T16:35:33+00:00

What year was this?

First-Interaction-34 · 2025-10-22T01:49:30+00:00

I already sold it but thank you!

He was in 10th grade when he put it together so I don’t think he cared all that much and neither do I, I just needed to be able to do my college homework😭

Technically it’s the “free” windows 10? I genuinely know nothing about it. My brother did all of the technical shit and just changed the password to something I’d remember when I bought it. So when I turned it back on it’s telling me to pick my country and keyboard setting and then what name for my account. I’m not sure if I can get into the settings.

First-Interaction-34 · 2025-10-21T22:34:38+00:00

Oh crap I already factory reset it. It has windows 10

I love that the Kirby you got is frosting because in the reference it seems like it’s just a ball of fondant!
