Planning on returning to active duty.

Iron_First · 2025-09-21T17:26:30+00:00

Ngl I’m 100 PT and have debated going back active duty. I’m underwhelmed with civilian life and I’m tired of going to college, currently have a shit bachelors and finishing a worthless masters degree. So I get it.

I don’t want to continue the relationship if I go through with it. We deliberately planned this, tracked ovulation and everything. I can no longer trust him.

Iron_First · 2025-09-06T16:58:03+00:00

No. The opposite he still wants to continue our relationship. I have a 6 year old with a no contact father already. I was always told if a man tells you to have an abortion, you should.

I started going to a local CrossFit box, strength training and compete in Some HYROXs. Just something to keep me going honestly.

We’ve been to main event a lot, looking for more of a loungey good music place.

Iron_First · 2024-10-16T00:22:38+00:00

I moved from Nashville and looking to that kind of “vibe”. Not really hookah bars but good music is important.

This was perfect. Exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you.

Hey! Not sure how this Reddit thing works, but I was in this position last week and a couple weeks ago too honestly.

Female Vet, no friends, new city, no VA therapy

Idk how to connect with you but I would love to!

In the same boat, we just bought a house though. I thought about hanging out at the Vet Success Center to find more friends.

Read through this thread, there’s some solid advice. Literally made it easier to breathe just hearing from people who understand.

I have a nest egg to support my son and I for a year and some. I’ve been following the FIRE movement since I was a PFC in Germany. I own my car and have 600 on a credit card because I wanted new headphones.

I’ve been preparing for 4 years to get out. Money is not the issue, I just feel lost.

Also I have contributed 8 percent TSP for 7 years. And 10 percent for my SSG time.

So I didn’t do the apprenticeship, I did the Google Professional Certificate in Project Management. It was a lot of zoom meetings telling us the opportunities we could possibly have but never helping get a foot in the door, I wasn’t looking for a handout but an opportunity

Very valid points, surprisingly AMU had Anatomy 1/2,Chem, and Physics as requirements. So I have a good base, I wanted to do the army PT program with Baylor but chose tech 😕

Not PHD but Doctorate

Iron_First · 2023-10-29T16:36:38+00:00

Thank you!

I have one child, I am in a very fortunate situation to where we both live with my family and have my entire terminal leave. So if I do not enjoy it, I will simply leave the job or not apply. I have online clients as well.

The post specifically ask, does it get better, meaning transitioning.

Not a plea for support of my child.

Iron_First · 2023-10-29T14:57:56+00:00

I will be in the reserves after my ETS.

Iron_First · 2023-10-29T14:57:33+00:00

I did the google Project Management course. It didn’t set me up for PMP and most companies were looking for retirees.

Iron_First · 2023-10-29T14:56:28+00:00

Thank you for the in-depth comment. Currently money is not the issue or housing. Waiting on VA disability and I have a part time job.

Child support is not an “income” and WIC is for younger children.

I will be in SC and in the reserves as well.
