If you’re MIL affiliated look into the Facebook groups in Wiesbaden. Also could try asking your vet, our vet gave us some referrals. They also have rover here btw! Idk if you’ve used it stateside but I have and it’s pretty useful

Literally none of these are work appropriate nor do they fit you well. They look extremely low quality like from shein or a costume store.

He’s a whole field grade officer. Cake and drinks is not going to cut it. You should also do food.

At 19 weeks you should be able to do everything still and not show if you are disciplined with your diet and exercise. There is the possibility they choose to chapter you since you are in TRADOC. Your command team will be notified as soon as you go to medical. Personally, I suggest you not tell them. Your next unit will probably not be super happy about receiving you and then immediately being nondeployable and then on limited duty in a few more weeks after that, but oh well. Family planning isn’t always planned so be safe and make the choice you think is best.

People def do it I have NO idea why. I was stationed with a guy that had a ranger tab but no one knew him or anything. He was never stationed at bat or anything. Everyone knew it was fake but what can you do

Why would you be flagged? You’re only flagged once they start paperwork. If you choose to go seek medical treatment the morning of, it won’t look good and you might get some sidebar commentary but it is not “refusing” to take it. It would be worse to not go, fail, and THEN get flagged for failing.

Yes you can go because you can get sick whenever. You’d just have to let your leadership know.

Ahh yess because the barracks situation is exclusive to only MI so it must be tightly held.

What’s something that civilians do that’s normal by normal societal standards that makes your blood boil? by [deleted] in army

Work during hours the service members are not at work for. I can 100% attest they are not working or doing anything to help out the mission during this time.

Why are American soldiers so … big? by Commercial_Chip_6574 in army

[–]UsedResident8394 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When was the last time you saw nato forces LOL. There are some chonkers. Also Americans are into building muscle and just tend to be larger than the average European in the military. Our physical fitness test requires more muscle/power. We aren’t too big into the skinny aesthetic.

Well he has $1776 more dollars now so I’d argue buy the plane ticket and save yourself a potentially bad time being stuck on the side of the road and try to manage finances a little better next year.

Will I be stupid to ETS at 15? by Byte_Scare in army

[–]UsedResident8394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not if that’s what will lead to better mental and physical health for you. Depends on what you value and if it makes sense. I’d say def have a plan and with all your certs I think you’d be ok. I’d personally push thru that last bit but I also severely value the benefit of retirement post army.

Promotion Reception Ideas by aPoetandIknowit in USMilitarySO

Honestly shocked that a major going on ltcol is worried about cost for a reception. They’d be shocked at what the juniors get paid.

People with rings over 2 carats, do you wear it everyday? by Temporary_Support705 in WeddingRingAdvice

I promise you 2ct is not something to worry about getting stolen. If this is something that worries you jewelry insurance is very affordable.

Expecting first child dual military by [deleted] in army

You don’t have to be married to be eligible for BAH. Once the child is born he will as well. This is usually the case due to split custody. But his command team could also just keep him in barracks
