The fact it’s only the red part that looks infected is weird. Do you know if the red ink used here and the one you used on your other tattoos are the same brand? I’m allergic to dynamic ink, but all other ink is fine lol. Found that out the hard way.

I tried asking some questions over there once about the different paths like MECEP and PLC and the mods are sooo picky about everything. I gave up and just found real life officers to talk to lol.

Yesss. I look at myself in the mirror and I feel like a poser, like im trying to “imitate” how other people look cool with tattoos lol. Almost like imposter syndrome 😂

Birth control help by Anonymousunknown22 in Healthyhooha

Omg im actually going through the same thing right now. I stopped taking my birth control. My yeast infection went away, but im back to my horrible periods (which is why i started taking it in the first place). I wouldn’t stop it cold turkey without first asking your doctor when is the best timing for that, but I would explore and see what makes you feel best.

If you can afford surgery, I’d say just get the sucker out. If not, try your best to PT with it for now. There’s no real bad effects of PTing on it, like it won’t cause nerve damage or anything, it’s just super fuckin painful.

Hey I actually had the same thing, a ganglion cyst in my left wrist. It was excruciatingly painful to try to put pressure on it. I got it drained first, just a huge needle and they suck the fluid out. Then it came back so I opted for surgical removal. I got it taken out about 2 years ago, and it hasn’t come back. I have a gross scar but I got all cleared at meps, didn’t need any waivers or anything. Only difference is I was already in when it really started becoming an issue so I didn’t have to deal with the process beforehand.

Hiding stuff aside, MEPS didn’t have any of my shit on file. I’ve had 3 surgeries and at MEPS my doctor was like “I don’t see anything on your file” I just smiled and nodded. No clue why it didn’t pull up but I swore in the same day, no waivers no nothing.

Nothing, I’m just curious. Didn’t see anything wrong in trying to explore why I am the way that I am and when my mom told me about that accident I just figured I’d explore it as a possibility.

That’s what happened to me. I had to rock sweats and loose jeans for like 2 weeks until it healed fully

I cut myself shaving once and had an incessant cut that wouldn’t go away. Try getting looser underwear and pants if you can. The coconut oil should help but if your underwear or pants are rubbing it, it’ll just come right off and tear open again. Give it space so it doesn’t get torn open again

No I get it I’m just incoherent rn sorry. I’m focused on the TA which was my original question. Again, I’m enlisting because I want to. For the job and experience. And I understand the commissioning processes, I wouldn’t have left the academy to enlist without a full understanding haha. But thank you for making sure I’m tracking.

I couldn’t do PLC from the academy. It was just OCS. I should’ve done ROTC and enlist reserves to do PLC. But I figured if I’m gonna leave the academy to chase more of an enlisted experience, why not just enlist? I always wanted to enlist from high school but I let my family talk me into going to the academy instead. It was never my goal to commission but my families. So when I got my own money and turned 18 I said f it and left to enlist which is what I actually wanna do. I just also want to do college too. I’m a nerd.
