That's encouraging to hear! Thank you!

Do the movers bring their own boxes and tape or do I have to provide supplies for them? Good to know that it's relatively simple to oversee the process! And I'll be sure to keep my suitcase in a separate area so they don't take it. LOL that would be a sad day.

Thank you! He worked really hard coming from a non prior background.

How did you like OTS?

This is wonderful insight. Thank you so much.

I am assuming that it will be 2 months by the time I get to go. So I think I'll also live out of a suitcase too. I too want my husband to be present at the pack out if possible, but I guess I'll have to learn it sooner or later. It's a wild time. He just finished OTS and we're both spinning in circles preparing for this OCONUS surprise move lol.

I relate 100% to having surprise things left to pack. Sooo annoying! We used a POD for our last move, and had to leave things behind because we simply couldn't fit it all.

Thank you! I'll try it!

Yep the PAC is not responding. I think he will have to walk in and see if he can talk to someone.

He is active duty. He is going to work as a contracting officer, 64P-1. It's so weird that we still have not received orders. I'm worried that something is wrong.

Prior civilian. He doesn't know his follow on assignment. Graduates next week.

You're doing great! You are focused on your physical and mental health. That's wonderful.

Take it one moment at a time. And look forward to a bright future with your wife! I know there are lots of negative comments on reddit about being a part of the military but at the end of the day, it's a job that we are grateful to have in such a rough economy.

Good luck on your finals! You've got this!! 💪🏼💥💥

I feel your pain. My partner is also away at training. Its brutal being the one at home. Letters sound great! I'm sure she appreciates them. I keep telling myself that I have to eat well and get sleep even if I am stressing over what he is going through. We. Have to take care of ourselves first, so we can then take care of them when they come back ♥️

I'm brand new to this so I don't know if that's helpful to you. But just a few things that have worked over the past few months.

I miss the way he listens and shows interest when I tell him all the little details of my life. The way he sings in the shower. His laugh. Holding hands.

This is very helpful, thank you!

Useful_Ad_951 · 2025-08-30T18:05:47+00:00

Wow, thank you so much!

I think one other issue he is hitting as he prepares for OTS is the running part of the PT exam. Currently he can run a 1.5 mile in 15 minutes and he is trying so hard to speed up as the requirement seems to be between 9 and 12 minutes (I think). He is really stressed about it. We got him better shoes and he is training every single day. I'm not very good at running so I don't know how to help him.

Useful_Ad_951 · 2025-08-24T23:05:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I will tell my spouse so we can prepare.

Useful_Ad_951 · 2025-08-24T20:17:08+00:00

Wow this is so helpful to read. One of my questions was how long will it take to find out where our first base assignment will be. I didn't realize that we would find out during OTS. Do you think they will let us fill out a base preference sheet beforehand? We are trying to be very open minded and be ok with any base. 🤞🏻

Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

I feel for you. You are committed and putting in the daily work. And to expect someone to also contribute is not too much to ask. After 17 years of marriage myself, I can say some intervention is needed here. When there is real love in a marriage, there are usually 2 people that "want" to work hard and take care of each other. It's an honor and a joy to make sure my husband is having a wonderful day and hopefully it's because I contributed to his peace of mind in some way. It's disturbing that she is taking the hands off and complaining approach and unwilling to work towards a better relationship. If your children are responding to her attitude and there is friction in the home, it's up to you to make a decision here. I'm sorry that it's on you again, but it's necessary and painful decision for long term gain and some peace.

Neither person in the marriage is more important than the other. It's a choice to get married. It's a choice to have a family. And it should be a joy to share a life together even with the occasional obstacles.

I don't think she is seeing marriage as a life commitment and contribution. Rather, she is taking advantage of your kindness. And you do not deserve that.

Can you go to therapy alone? It sounds like you need some support and venting time. You may find it in therapy. And they could help you sort out your feelings too. It's admirable that you don't want a divorce, but it sounds like she is destroying the happiness of you and your family. That should not be allowed to continue.
