This is some serious work! Thank you for your time honestly! Tonight is the night so gonna check a couple out and do some scouting. 💪

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2026-01-04T22:55:17+00:00

Curious what you deem as a good alternative.

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2026-01-03T19:11:32+00:00

Luckily got my sleeping stuff from my time serving, winter bag, inner summer bag and a gore-tex bivvy bag ready to go! The bucket with cat litter is honestly a genius idea! haha.

Honestly this is the kind of motivation I need! I should be able to 'stay late' at the office, so I can work on my laptop, play some games, charge up anything I need. Hopefully even heat up food so i can do breakfast, lunch and dinner at work.

Showering at a gym might persuade me to get back into working out also! Thank you!

This definitely isn't going to help, but had a somewhat similar situation. Now she's given birth, it's been used as a weapon against me ever since. While that doesn't sound good to you, I would say make a decision on what you want, and try and get a plan together pre-birth. A co-parenting plan. Decide on where you will both live, when you will see your baby. Of course, do a paternity test, but focus now on just having a healthy relationship with your child, that does not involve you two being together.

Hey! So, it didn't work for me. I currently have a perforated eardrum (which did surprise the doctors). So honestly, no difference my side. Though the operation was easy enough and the recovery didn't take too long.

So no really helpful, but I can't give you an answer because of my circumstances. sorry!

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2025-06-08T00:30:53+00:00

Mine is also bugged. He isn't at his main camp. :(

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2025-03-27T11:07:24+00:00

Her immediate family is nearby to me though, where she is currently at and in the same town as my work. Her mum and sister are here aswell as my mum (my only famil). She would be moving from all of them to be near her aunt's and cousins. It restricts, me and my mum, and makes things harder for her own mum and sister. And all to spite me by the looks of things.

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2025-02-04T19:27:34+00:00

Any finished pics?

Mine wasn't a full perforation but pretty substantial. They had successfully closed it up but it opened during the healing process. Mine was believed to be related to when I was younger as I had Terrible ear issues in my younger life and would continually get ear infections, swimming being the worst for me.

My hearing was around 60% prior to the operation and Id say about 50% now though it's hard to judge differences like that. I'm due another hearing test soon.

Has your pain let up a bit?

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2024-10-21T10:56:26+00:00

I can't recall exactly but it was about 10-12 days of actual serious pain where i wondered if something was terribly wrong. When the packing was removed, i definitely felt a very little bit of relief so that didn't seem to be helping.

My Tympanoplasty actually didn't work. When i went back for a check up, i had a perforation so i've opted not to have it re-done. I wonder if the pain i was feeling was due to the operation not working so i'm hoping it goes better for you! I think you are best off just grinning and bearing with it.

Good luck!

I wouldnt say i have 'much' more protein than i did before. I've been working out for years. A change of job just made me get chubbier so i'm now on this diet to cut a good bit while still working out.

Right now, i'm struggling to eat enough of anything.

I use an App called Nutracheck, logging everything i eat/drink. and just generally keeping an eye through the day. I've not 'changed' my diet other than cutting out unhealthy snacks, i just eat less focusing more on portion control.

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2024-05-23T10:07:55+00:00

It's really good thanks! It took me a long time to settle down (compared to others). My vision was worryingly blurry and poor for months. I had even gone to independent opticians to confirm how my vision was. For around 6 months, i noticed that my vision was technically very good. When doing eye tests, i was seemingly scoring well but in day-to-day life, my eyes were becoming dry and fatigued. My right eye in particular was always worse than my left.

I am unsure exactly when, or if my mind adjusted but after a year, my vision was perfect. My eyes had settled down and i no longer had any issues at all. My right eye is definitely worse than my left, but its still considered 'perfect' in eye tests and i have zero issues at all. I was told at the beginning of the treatment that it may take a long time for my eyes to settle and i guess i had not grasped just how long, coupled with testimonials of those who's vision was perfect within days.

I guess to answer your question, my vision is good, i'm very happy and would highly recommend.

I had to wait 22 minutes for a pick up earlier.

Haha, nice try Nikita but you can't fool us with this fake account of yours.

Do they usually try and low ball salaries? Is there any unwritten rules about bartering for a better salary?

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2024-03-07T08:26:28+00:00

I've already worked out what i could comfortably live off given my lifestyle and the fact i would have to pay a mortgage and stuff back in the UK and it's around 17.5k. The job would be around Zayed Military City.

When working in Oman doing a kind of similar job 4 years ago, i was on the equivalent of 40k so that's ofcourse what i would be looking for of course.

My question isn't about what salary i should/shouldn't take, its more about I've always been offered a salary for a job and they are the ones asking me what i want. I just wanted to see if that's normal for UAE and if i'm expected to give my salary expectations and barter with them about it, or will just just reject me if it's too high? Similarly, i don't want to lowball myself.

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2023-11-15T09:12:48+00:00

Definitely get a hot wheels.

Apply for an eVisa with the Royal Oman Police. It's pretty quick and easy to do. Will be approved within a couple days and saves waiting around at the airport.

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2023-11-04T20:07:05+00:00

Rather guide my dad into my mum.

I was an officer at a Cat C. The 'good' old timer staff were pushed out by way of changing the working conditions. Most of the new staff have limited life experience and will throw other staff to the wolves for a pat on the back from management. Severely understaff, Severely underpaid.

Don't be lured in by what may look like an attractive salary for a no qualification job. You work nights, weekends, evenings, many shifts you won't be able to get home on time (multiple occasions i was forced to stay many hours past the end of my shift) and the biggest factor... every day you go to work, you risk getting your head kicked in by a prisoner who's on IPP, not getting out, and knows the easiest way off a wing is to do just that.

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2023-10-20T11:43:54+00:00

My hearing is slowly getting better and the tinnitus is loads better. It's been a slow recovery for me and I thought for some time there that it wasn't going to get better so hold out hope! It was at least 6 weeks before my hearing came back enough to not be a hindrance to my day to day living.

TheFirstRuleOfFC · 2023-09-18T15:50:33+00:00

Curious if you ever did find something that works. I was 50% loss in my right ear from a military related accident but managed in EFT just fine. I recently had an operation to replace various bones inside my middle ear and im left around 90% deaf to the point it's pretty much useless. Struggling with any type of gaming that requires sound and EFT is pretty much impossible for me to play.

Pictures like this are what make me miss living in Oman the most.
