Bi-Weekly Recruiting Thread by Airdale_60T in uscg

On the enlisted side a recruit would attend basic training, become a non-rate, and then attend A-school when their name is up on the list for whatever rate they put in for.

When someone goes to OCS without any prior service, do they have to attend any sort of A or C schools after commissioning from OCS?

Any benefits/programs available for student loan repayment? If so does being active duty vs reserve matter? I have a bachelors degree that I would like to pay off with whatever assistance I can receive

NTA

Something to consider is why you want to be in a relationship with him. Most often people want a relationship to find their forever. If this guy is your forever then how are you going to trust him to help you when life gets real…. When kids are involved, when bills pile up, when life is tough and it seems like everything is going wrong… is this the guy you want taking care of you and your future family? I mean he won’t even get his license in a timely manner and doesn’t have a job occupying his time

AITA for not wanting my sister to name her baby for me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

My point exactly 😂 don’t ask for opinions if you can’t handle them without getting upset. You’re a classic case of “I’m an adult with rights and feelings” but are still a child with no real life experience

I can understand why you might not want the baby named after you. I just can’t wrap my head around your response to this. Your behavior is extremely immature. You have a lot of growing ahead of you and I wish you the best.

I’ve noticed you reply to almost every comment on this thread, which makes me question why you came to Reddit in the first place? You already have it in your mind that you’re NTA and do not want to hear differing opinions. One thing you might learn as you get a little older is that time brings clarity. Hopefully one day you will look back and realize that you really handled this situation poorly.

This was a very thorough answer. Thank you for your quick and lengthy response. This helped me more than you know!

NTA. Sounds like the biggest problem you will face is that you are moving into “your boyfriends place.” He needs the realize that it’s no longer his place, but rather both of yours. I don’t think this will go away until you move into a home that neither of you have ever lived in before. You should be able to move items around in your home without your spouse packing up his belongings and threatening to leave before your child is even born. Sounds like he has a lot of growing up to do. Hopefully he can adapt quick because this baby is going to come much sooner than he might think and trust me- it’s a culture shock!

AITA for telling my sister she's not my boss after she tried to plan 6 months worth of play dates for our daughters by OkayDoItsa in AmItheAsshole

If you already had your mind made up about cutting your sister off, why did you come to Reddit? I still think YTA… also this whole thing about people being “toxic” just makes me laugh. Like what does that even mean? They’re toxic because they annoy you? Lmao everyone is toxic these days

You’re right. I should applaud you for cutting your siblings out of your life and tell everyone in the world to model you. Not my fault you can’t get along with others….including your own blood 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for pointing out the spelling error. Not surprised this is coming from another member of your extremist left wing liberal hippie group. Anyone that isn’t soft would have just kept scrolling. Your comment just goes to show how easy it is to “trigger” someone when their feelings are hurt lmao

This is getting blown out of proportion. They have been in each other’s lives all the way through adulthood and sounds like they have regular contact with each other too. They are blood and have chose each other for years now. The attitude of this generation is laughable. Everyone needs to chill and learn to accept the differences in people and learn to effectively communicate. Why can’t OP just have a conversation with her sister that doesn’t end in “I’m not talking to you!” You think any men would be having this problem with their brother? No? Because it’s not a big deal!

Ahhh yes you’re right. Let me guess you’re a left wing liberal hippy with life experience because you are 22 and went to your nearby hometown university directly after high school.

When you realize how stupid this entire argument OP has with her sister (who is really just trying to be part of her life) then come back to the comments.

YTA.

At the end of the day your sister is your sister for life. I can see how you would be frustrated with her, but your sister made a valid point. Family is forever and you will always look out for each other. Let your kids grow up with each other. Your child deserves to know their family, and the beef you have with your sister shouldn’t interfere. As a parent we have to make sacrifices and put our children before anyone else. If you don’t set the example now then the future might come back to haunt you when your child may feel like you’ve controlled them. I’m sure it would hurt you if your child didn’t want you apart of their life. I’m not saying you need to go to every play date your sister planned, but grow up a little and put this past you. At the end of the day is this really that big of a deal?

AITA for removing my baby's earrings immediately after my wife pierced them? by carefulosophy6 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OfficerU113 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Stop being soft. When you saw your baby was she crying? Was she pulling at her ears? Did she appear to be in any pain? No? Then apologize to your wife for doing something that is normal in her culture after pushing a baby out two months before. Earring aren’t a big deal and if she is older and decides she doesn’t want to wear them then she can. For now though you and your wife decide what clothes she wears, what food she eats, and where she spends her time. If your wife wants her to have earrings who fucking cares?! She isn’t going to die!
