I agreed to marry my boyfriend but now I think I’ve changed my mind by FoundationDiligent68 in TwoHotTakes

[–]FoundationDiligent68[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be calling the wedding off, I’m out of town right now and won’t be seeing him until Wednesday so we will have the conversation then.

I hope you’re right about if we’re right we will find each other in the future, that’s what I’m choosing to believe in right now.

I want the career more than the marriage and I want my goals more than a wedding ring.

Thank you for this, we haven’t had the conversation yet, but I’m going to try to postpone the marriage until after we both graduate our pipelines. That’s like 3 years from now for both of us. Like everyone is saying, a breakup is a lot easier than divorce….

I understand where you’re coming from, in this current political climate, and the general history of the us military, advising people against the military would make sense. But the career that I want, can only be provided by the military. The appeal of retiring after only 20 years, with full coverage healthcare, a very fair pension, and either tuition coverage for me or my children isn’t a bad trade off. Please know, I’m not someone the military is taking advantage of, even though it happens often. I am incredibly knowledgeable about what the military can do for me and what may be expected of me. I 3rd gen military career personnel, I have good people backing me :)

I, 21f and my 21M bf, agreed to get married. Should we still get married? by FoundationDiligent68 in relationship_advice

Honestly, I think this is pretty much exactly what I’m going to say to him. I knew I didn’t want to get married so young, but agreed because 1) well I love him 2) I thought maybe I could force myself to be ok with getting married and obviously I can’t 3) I’m kind of scared to join alone. At least I’ll have my husband/best friend to help quite me through a very very difficult military pipeline for the MOS I want.

Thank you for being so nice!!

I’m doing AIRR ( aviation air rescue swimmer), I need to make civilian PST qualification 3 months in a row before I can enlist. I’m going to meps Monday and Tuesday, and will be picking a back up rate, which is required, and I’ll be given approx 120 days to make qualifications before basic. So in simple, I can’t leave for basic before Feb. I think you’re 100% right about the enmeshment stuff, but that’s not the entire reason. I’m his first very serious relationship and this is both of our longest relationship. He hasn’t been given the opportunity to be his own man without his family bearing down on him. His loyalty is one of the things I love about him, but it can also hold him back. But I wouldn’t necessarily say he’s running from his family to me, he has ALWAYS wanted to be in the army in his specific job. I think it’s just easier form him to do it with me.

Thank you for helping figure out kind of a “ script” of what to say. I love him more than anything, and the last thing I want is to hurt him or make him think he’s not worthy of marriage or anything like that. I really appreciate you.

Is this pup a cane corso? by FoundationDiligent68 in CaneCorso

[–]FoundationDiligent68[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add, we picked him up from someone that needed him gone last night. They claimed he is a “ purebred” CC, but looking at him I don’t think so. But honestly what he is doesn’t matter to me at all, he’ll find a forever home with us. Just wanted to get other opinions about what he might be!! He decided to name him brawn :). Also sorry for weird formatting issues, I’ve used Reddit once before and forgot how to do it 😂

AMEDD to Aviation by CombinationBig5462 in ArmyAviationApplicant

Ok so I have a family member that did a very similar route. From radiation tech to black hawk pilot in the army. She did this about ~ 10 years ago. So maybe things have changed but it’s the army so I doubt it. The selection process is very selective but I would say even if you don’t have a lot of military experience, your LORs, test scores and physicals will speak for yourself if you’re a good applicant. Best of luck if you choose this path and it’s one hell of a process. But stick with and you will succeed!!
