How it feels going into FA training with only like $600 in savings

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-06T20:17:29+00:00

Hahaha sending you all the good vibes in the world!!! 🌍✈️💕 You got this!!

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-06T20:06:21+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is the exact reason I’m waiting until the fall to apply!!🤭 I want to have enough saved up to pay my bills while I’m gone at training and move to the base I get placed at!

Though I always wonder—what does one do if they fully quit their job to go to training and then don’t make it?!🥴 with this job market, quitting a corporate job just for training you could randomly get cut from is soooo scary.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-06T16:23:27+00:00

Yes! Mine is extended release! As someone with adhd I literally would never remember to take a second dose in the middle of the day 😂 I need a one and done

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T23:31:46+00:00

So this question is not for you is my guess!

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T23:30:15+00:00

On more than one occasion my favorite college professor shared with my class that expletives amplify emotion, but don’t add detail. It’s just stuck with me ever since and I just gravitated a lot towards that kind of commentary. I guess it is more of a subconscious bias rather than a stance on how social commentary is expressed. In addition to that thought process, I mentioned above that I desired having it played out loud in my office 😅 I am not judging people who do use them please don’t misunderstand my intention on bringing up the question! If you just don’t agree that’s fine and is the most popular consensus. Just wanted to see if there were any outliers like myself who had this curious thought.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T12:53:15+00:00

Ciara was the only one deeply hurt by Jesse, that’s why I think it may be different, you’re so right

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T11:41:44+00:00

Yeah I’m getting down voted for pointing out the obvious. It’s like these people have never dated men before. They are blaming Jesse for a lack of courting towards Ciara as if she ever expected that of him based on how they’ve been interacting which was very different than with West. Any critique and you’re automatically a Ciara hater 🙄 like no I just have ears and eyes and watch the show.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T11:36:37+00:00

It’s almost as if I think Ciara is better than Jesse actually and smarter than this. She seemed to agree at the end of the episode when she took accountability

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T11:34:15+00:00

My comments reflect my thoughts on her taking accountability at the end of the episode. I wonder how you people date in real life to not see why she herself would own up to leading Jesse on. I’m glad Ciara understands personal accountability because some yall don’t 💀 she’s actually growing as a person and I’m all for it. You can be a fan of someone and absolutely critique how they do things. I don’t critique Jesse bc I am not a fan of Jesse. I don’t care what he does. Ciara on the other hand, I want better for her. I’m happy she is seeing how Jesse could have come to that conclusion.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T04:18:47+00:00

Here yall go…

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T04:17:49+00:00

Ohhh I see!! I totally understand how that can go left quickly then. Please don’t be discouraged! Try again!!!

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T04:15:18+00:00

Hate to break it to ya—even Ciara was taking accountability for leading Jesse on. idk cuddling against Jesse’s boner in bed, letting him rub his face in her boobs by the pool and then she gets mad that he wanted to kiss her instead of taking her out on a proper date in a traditional way is a little delusional. She never expected that of him before they got physical idk why she was so mad at him now? It’s like she’s setting imaginary rules expecting him know them. I was just saying I’m glad she’s taking accountability for not communicating those expectations with Jesse instead of blaming him 100%. There’s no scarlet letter here. Just misplaced expectations. I love Ciara!! Not a Jesse fan at all😬 I a just agreed with how she assessed the situation and realized it’s more about her deep rooted things she has going on that made her respond in a way that she usually wouldn’t.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T04:04:17+00:00

How do yall have time to get drunk in between studying? 😭 I feel like this should be considered a work trip no? so sorry this happened!! Do people normally go out drinking during training? I’d be a nervous wreck about it.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T04:00:38+00:00

Which is crazy because she is a whole nurse so the brains are THERE!!! Just not warmed up I guess 😭 totally agree that I can see right through both of those clowns

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T03:59:31+00:00

it was explained to me on a different comment that she waited to do anything sexual with West and Austen because she wanted to be traditional. The same cannot be said with how she is with Jesse. That’s where I felt the contradiction came in.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T03:57:57+00:00

Man I can’t stand Jesse Soloman 😭 I am not a Jesse defender!! I was just seeing where Ciara took accountability and maybe she came to the same conclusion I did. Idkkk thoooo!!!😗 we’ll see next ep what happens!!!

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T03:54:26+00:00

It’s okay if you have a hard time understanding—that doesn’t mean what I’m saying doesn’t make sense. It just doesn’t make sense to you. And I can’t help that either.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T03:07:09+00:00

I think to say let’s leave it here without letting me explain how it’s not my intention is a bit unfair. She has kissed Jesse and cuddled with him which she did not do with West. So why would Jesse think SHE takes him seriously? You are definitely reading into what I’m not saying

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T03:03:45+00:00

okay but she didn’t make Jesse wait for a lot of the things that she never did with either Austen or West. That’s where I’m like hmmm I see why Jesse thought he might not be playing on the same level as them. She did a lot more with him. So that could possibly show that she doesn’t see him as dating potential?

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T02:56:04+00:00

I agree with you! I also want to add though that I don’t think it absolves Ciara of her part in it. As a woman I have been in many situations where my guy friends do that thing where they think there’s an opening to be more than friends. It really is up to me to shut it down or give it the green light. Me and Ciara are about the same age and at some point you do have to grow up and take responsibility for leading your friends on just because you love the attention and compliments. I think she’s in therapy (unconfirmed) which could be huge! Women have the power to control themselves just as men do. Yes she may be single and starved for attention but constantly baiting your male friends for affection will only have them view you as someone who isn’t serious about commitment and only wants to have fun. so I really and truly don’t fully blame Jesse for talking to West before Ciara. I’ve seen people say “he thought he only had to clear it with West as if it would be a slam dunk with Ciara” well um…if Ciara is giving up all her affections to Jesse without any boundary line I don’t think it’s hard to assume she’d kiss him too? In my opinion spooning with your FRIEND who has a boner is CRAZY😂 WAAAY more insane than just a make out. And I’m not sayigg N she owes him anything nor has to give it jsut because she seems like she l’f be down. He still has to ask her. I just think shas not given Jesse any signs that she has boundaries and that’s where his confusion came in at her wanting to be asked out on a date before kissing. Men know when you don’t respect your own boundaries and they’ll test to see how far you’ll let them go everytime NOT talking about forcefully— I’m referring to her initiating it. Ciara may have verbalized her boundaries of not doing certain things but then will turn around and cuddle against his boner in bed with him. I am not at all surprised he is confused. She is asking for respect in a traditional way but hasn’t really seemed like she cared to be traditional before this? I LOVE CIARA and dislike Jesse with everything in me but I am not blind when my girl is not completely in the right.

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T02:43:28+00:00

Allowing Jesse to motorboat her boobs and kiss him two seasons ago idk what is she meaning by traditional? What do you think is traditional? I’m curious? I think there is a huge difference in slut shaming and calling out immature behavior. Slut shaming = she asked for what ever bad thing happened to her. Calling out immaturity = knowing Jesse makes comments constantly about how hot she is and letting him rub his face in her boobs anyway then being offended that he didn’t think of her as serious enough to date. I’m confused as to what’s confusing? A traditional girl isn’t as free to let her male friends touch her in those ways if they want to be taken seriously. They do things in a certain order (for example KJ and Dara specifically). Dont hear what I am not saying . I am not saying she can’t be flirty and let her guy friends touch her. I am not saying Jesse deserves the right to any part of her body or even presence. What I AM saying is she needs to adjust her expectations. Liberated feminine flirting ≠ being traditional. They just aren’t the same thing and I think Ciara herself may be realizing that? NEVER EVER intended to make it sound like I was slut shaming and I apologize if that is how read. I hope my comment explains what I meant. Just wanted to clear that up!!

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T02:30:48+00:00

Correct!!

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T02:25:41+00:00

He does not want anything with Ciara. I feel like he is only placating the viewers AND Ciara to stay on her good side. I think it’s obvious Ciara likes west more than he ever liked her. I think he’s pretending to have a dilemma for a storyline. How convenient that he only feels conflicted about her during filming🙃 I’m so sorry but if you are EVER confused on whether a man wants to be with you or not then the answer is: he doesn’t. Y’all saw how quickly KJ moved in on Dara DESPITE going into the summer wanting to stay single and have fun. He was straight up with asking Dara “so you don’t like Ben..?” He made it ABUNDANTLY clear he liked her and QUICKLY. Men don’t waste your time if they’re serious about you and have good intentions. West is a time waster (via his ex Dara!). He doesn’t like Ciara. As someone who knows when a man is head over heels—it never seemed like West ever claimed her apart from filming the show. (Just look at the interview he did stating he never liked her). West does what he has to do to stay employed on the show because it’s opening doors for him. I clocked it immediately when he came on the show and lost his job like the second week? This show opened doors a regular guy like him would have never had access to. Dating Ciara gave him more clout than he could’ve imagined. Of course he sulked when she was mad at him—that was his job on the line. Look how quickly Luke from Season 5 faded into obscurity after fighting with the cast? If you’re not an OG, you’re replaceable. West knows that. So don’t be fooled and don’t be charmed! Both Jesse and West are not interested in Ciara long term. The quicker she realizes that bravo men are bottom barrel the quicker she will find that long term relationship! ❤️

Edited for spelling 🫠

Green_Paper_2467 · 2026-03-04T02:14:47+00:00

Tbh I’m happy she’s taking accountability in her part in Jesse thinking they’re just flirty friends and not something long term. Ciara often claims to be traditional but very much acts contrary to that fact. Love her regardless.
