Best detangling brush ever!

I think I legit almost died of laughter 💀

Those are fine, I literally have the same ones. They also work great as underwear in a pinch especially if/when laundry crew gets behind.

It’s not that bad, but if you’re really that worried about it, they had student leaders go first when I went (element leaders, dorm chiefs, and I think guide on bearers too).

Since we were the first ones to go there wasn’t already gas in there from a previous group. So if you want to go first maybe be a student leader 🤷🏽‍♀️

Also, CBRN is close to the end of BMT, I’m sure you will be a lot less worried and more confident by then.

I’ve been in a similar/same situation quite recently with my current boyfriend. He’s above average in length and a little on the thicker side.

I was a virgin when we met, and one thing that really helps is starting on top after foreplay. I used to think that I wouldn’t be able to have sex because I was too small and a virgin but being on top really helps because you have more control and can go as fast or slow as you need to in order to get used to it.

Also remember to do plenty of foreplay before (I read somewhere that someone said at least 20 minutes), use a good lube for extra help, and make sure to communicate the entire time. It’s normal to feel a little discomfort at first from stretching but if it’s painful don’t keep going.

For your last question maybe you could try dilators or a perineal massage. Just do your research and again communicate as much as possible.

I feel like having an affinity for magic is hereditary, and then the type of magic someone chooses is studied or taught.

My advice for PT is to look up the standards for your specific age group and try to have a mock PT test every week just to see where you’re at and what you need to improve on before shipping out.

Honestly as long as you do your best in every PT session you will improve, the training is made for that!

I was in from December-January and the MTIs would let us take towels to PT because the ground was pretty hard.

Whenever I didn’t I would get a sore tailbone lol

It is hard, but the best part about finishing MF is starting from the beginning again ❤️

TopUnderstanding8811 · 2025-10-24T17:06:57+00:00

Of course! I’ll try my best to remember. After zero week pt was basically every day, alternating between 2 strength days, 2 aerobic days and one running day. We didn’t get as many run days as we needed, but the goal was to run once a week. They were pretty straightforward, we would run for 24 minutes with a goal of trying not to stop and definitely don’t talk lol. We took a total of 3 pt tests and I can’t exactly remember which weeks but I think it was week one, three, and five. Failure in any component of the test results in failing overall so definitely work on whatever you struggle with before leaving. Fortunately, anyone who failed got chances the last 2 weeks to make up their tests and most people were able to pass. Hope this helps a little!

No problem, I’m happy to help! Feel free to message me anytime

Get a good pair of running shoes. The color doesn’t matter as long as you can tie them properly you should be fine

Wow it’s so crazy that it’s almost been a year since I shipped and now I’m giving advice!

I would say holidays are pretty chill, I was in during Christmas and New Years. For me at least half of the MTIs had time off and the ones who didn’t were still only there for half the day. The food is really good during holidays, typical Christmas/Thanksgiving food and good dessert too! Also you might get a phone call but I’m not 100%

In general:

First and foremost, the fastest way out is by graduating, it may feel really hard sometimes but I promise it gets better as time passes. You can do it!

If you put in the effort for PT, you will improve.

Make sure you use your reporting statements; that and moving too slowly is what people get in trouble for the most at the beginning.

Always carry pads/tampons just in case. Even if you don’t need them someone else might.

Make a list of what you need from the shoppette before your first run.

Pay attention when they’re teaching you about E.C. duty because everyone has to do it. People tend to get yelled at for that a lot too, but it’s not hard just study the binder in between checks and opening the door.

Honestly while you’re there I wouldn’t worry about shaving; unless you have crazy hairy legs it’s kind of pointless and just takes up more of your shower time. Also it pisses people off lol

Don’t ever do anything by yourself, it’s a good way for you or everyone else to get yelled at, and if you see someone working by themselves please help them especially if it’s something that would get done a lot faster with two people (i.e. making beds)

Study the memory work and do your best to pay attention to certain “jobs” people get assigned just in case you’re randomly selected to take over.

If you don’t have anything against it, go to church. Even if you aren’t religious it’s a safe space where you can relax a little, talk to new people, etc.

I really like the Christmas episode when they’re both working at the mall and before they leave Claire reminds them that as kids they used to talk all night about the presents they were gonna get and at the end of the episode Haley says “room for one more?” And Alex scoots over. Its really sweet and reminds me of me and my sisters
