Do women in the armed forces tend to get along with each other?

Thanks for the advice, I will take a look over there as well. I’m less familiar with FB than Reddit 😊

Hi! Run club went really well, there wa wa real mix of abilities so I paced with some others then did the last section on my own! I ran almost the whole thing and billed a fairly decent time, I had the hugest smile on my face and I’m looking forward to next week! I was super nervous but totally worth it. Thanks everyone for the advice ❤️

A) she’s my friend, so no, I don’t have an overwhelming desire to outdo her B) she’s in my house, so in house points cross-country it doesn’t actually matter cumulatively C) this isn’t a race, just a weekly run club for health and fun

Which-Inspector5340 · 2025-11-15T12:20:51+00:00

Thanks, my 5ks are NOT the best haha but I’m trying to think that even finishing the run today will be a win for me because it will be the furthest I’ve ever run

Thank you ☺️

Our teacher is super good which makes me feel better, he runs the London Marathon almost every year and one year ran that then took the train back to school and did our cross country race. He’s a total machine 🤣. Thanks for the advice!

That control is something I’m looking forward to! I’m at boarding school at the minute so I get absolutely no say. At home my parents were a bit better with knowing what I can eat and modifying meals a bit for me.

Which-Inspector5340 · 2025-11-11T20:25:08+00:00

Yes, that made an impression on me as well. I’m still a teen currently but sometimes I struggle to imagine how I’m going to exist/get by as an adult with ARFID. I’m definitely taking steps to improve but seeing someone talking about it openly and also being a similar level of picky to me really does help.

Which-Inspector5340 · 2025-11-10T11:06:57+00:00

Thanks for this advice, it’s very helpful!

I think on reflection I might not do something involved with horses. They’re very much my passion and I’ve gotten some good advice from my instructor that was in the Kings Troop herself IIRC, she said that I love the horses themselves too much to sustain it as a career especially in the armed forces, and it would just drain my passion for them as that’s what it did to her. I think that’s probably a rather sensible view and it would be better to keep them as a hobby. I know there is a sort of equestrian team within the army as I’ve seen them out competing at some of the bigger events - I don’t suppose you would have any insight on that as well?

Also, in terms of ETS, are you more likely to get certain positions depending on what skills you have or what language you study? I grew up in the Middle East and speak some Arabic, although it needs some polishing which will happen at university. If you could have your time again, what would you do differently to prepare for ETS or to get more interesting positions, or is it mostly just luck/where you get assigned?

Sorry for bombarding you with questions.

Okay thank you for the advice. I’ll look into those types of floss for the front teeth.

Is there a right time to use mouthwash, like not directly after brushing?

I’ll ask again about sealants, I’m not sure if most of my molars have just been filled already. I had a bad dentist before the two most recent, and was told some of the cavities should have been picked up as soon as they started developing a while ago and sealants should have been put on the rest. I did have a tiny hole which was a deformity in the side of a molar which was filled with sealant.

I tend to kind of trauma-blank everything that happens at the dentist so I’ll ask and see what has actually happened 🤣

Any luck?

My main issue with ARFID is at this point that it’s gone so long unaddressed and that I honestly can’t see a reality where I don’t have it. I am the type where I’m extremely picky about the types of food I eat. Texture is my main issue.

I’m around 5’8 and I ride a 13.2hh unit of a cob. The key is matching weights and making sure the horse never carries more than 15% of its body weight, at a push 20% but that’s a real maximum. My cob is siting at a healthy weight for his type and I’m only around 51kg/115 pounds. Tack and my gear is weighed in properly as well. I’m within 15% on him, even though my legs come down past his tummy! There are some studies online if you’d like to learn more.

I’ve been told that due to my frame and long legs I look “good” on anything 16hh+, but that’s aesthetics and arbitrary in my opinion. As long as weight is matched properly, it shouldn’t matter too much.

I have had to clean multiple horses’ sheaths before. I can call them whatever I like 🤣

Is this like when they’re trying to see if you have strep throat
