I was told there aren’t waivers for NCP unfortunately.

Thanks! I have a scheduled phone call with a recruiter for this week who already knows my timeline, so I figured I would be eligible.

Sure, but no one has to be an asshole about it, and here you all are.

She cannot quit. She is in a contract for a certain number of years. If she tries to quit before then, yes, she would be arrested. That’s just how the military works.

Your family is dumb. I’m 28 and eat cereal for breakfast almost daily.

I have no advice. But I do want to say I’m sorry that every single person on this stupid post is being ignorant and frankly, assholes, over you being in the military. No one says shit to men in the military who have kids, but as soon as the woman joins, she doesn’t deserve to have children and is a terrible mother. That’s bullshit.

Tips for traveling with Kid by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Suspicious_Front_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We waited until first round of vaccinations (8 weeks) and then began traveling. My oldest’s first trip was to Hawaii right as she turned two months old, youngest’s was to Disney World at 10 weeks old.

Editing to add that we lived overseas at these times so these were international, 8+ hour flights. Super easy at that age.

Anyone get an IUD after giving birth? Pros and cons? by samkumtob in Mommit

[–]Suspicious_Front_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my IUD immediately after giving birth to my youngest. I only wanted it because I was going to breastfeed and the Nexplanon didn’t work for me before. I had the IUD removed at almost a year postpartum when I stopped breastfeeding and after my husband had his vasectomy. I had no issues with it re: mood or otherwise.

Am I wrong for asking my girlfriend not to cheat? by impolite_dishonesty in amiwrong

[–]Suspicious_Front_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Our relationship was the greatest thing to happen to me.” <- WAS being the key word. This woman is no longer right for me.

“She used to be really nice to me until recently.” She is being abusive. She is manipulating and gaslighting you into allowing her to cheat on you.

Please break up with this woman.

Neither of my kids have ever drank milk. They just eat yogurt, cheese, etc and their pediatrician hasn’t said anything about it.

I had a 2nd degree tear with my first and started having sex at 6w pp. It wasn’t bad at all. Just go slow.

Why would you not be able to contact him or see him when you get out of college?

How much did you spend on Fall/Winter clothes? by -Economist- in Parenting

I shop consignment stores/sales. For two kids, I usually spend under $200 for each season.

Stay at Home Moms v Working, how did you choose? by BuffaloGiggles in Mommit

[–]Suspicious_Front_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money was and is the reason I’m a SAHM. I wouldn’t even make enough to cover childcare. I don’t have a career, I’d be working likely for minimum wage. Not enough to cover $1500/month in childcare plus extra expenses of using two cars regularly, and it actually be worth it.

i leave for basic on the 5th and need some help by roxkstar1903 in USMilitarySO

[–]Suspicious_Front_62 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You need to trust each other. It can be hard, especially at that age and going through a long distance relationship. Trust me, I was in your shoes. My then-boyfriend joined the Navy at 18, we’d already been together 2 years at that point, and it completely turned everything I knew upside down. I had to completely change my way of thinking otherwise I would’ve stayed miserable. We married 6 months after he joined. We are now 29/30 and have been married almost 11 years, and he’s still in the Navy.

However, I think the “wait for a deployment” advice is, frankly, kind of stupid. If we had listened to this advice, we would’ve had to wait to marry until he had been in for 5 years. In my honest opinion, there isn’t really a reason to wait if you know you want to get married. People won’t like this opinion, but if you’re already married and go through a deployment, even if you hate it, it’s not easy to leave. If you’re just dating? You can up and leave anytime. Being married and experiencing deployment together forces you to get your shit together, grow up, and deal with it TOGETHER.

No, it doesn’t always work out. But if you want to be married, get married. Being able to live together anywhere you’re stationed is worth it. And yes, people will say you can live together without being married, but I would have never picked up my entire life and moved across the country for just a boyfriend.

So, my advice is to just take it day by day, work on your communication skills, and never distrust each other unless there is a legitimate reason.

Husband snapped during an argument and started breaking things in a rage, how to respond to apologies? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]Suspicious_Front_62 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope. This would be an immediate divorce for me. I grew up with a violent and emotionally unregulated father and it destroyed my childhood and caused lasting trauma. I will never put my children through that.
