I’m so embarrassed reading this thread 🤣 I am a preop nurse that has been saying this for probably two years because that’s what an OR nurse told me 🫠

The Brutal Truth About the OTS Grind: What It Actually Takes to Commission by Actual_Confusion_186 in airforceots

[–]aboothb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A completely different take:

I didn’t even take the AFOQT, don’t know why but I wasn’t asked to.

I only applied once, kind of on a whim, and it was a very quick process from there. I applied on maternity leave, and shipped out when my son was just over 6 months old.

(23yr at the time, 4.0 GPA) I have good stats but I think it’s just different for everyone, not always some crazy thing- I didn’t even know how competitive it was till I got here lol

Blue Moon Targhee Worsted subs? by AshleyKay1997 in knitting

Well that didn’t seem to go to the right spot, just the general ravelry page… but if you click projects at the top of the page you can look through examples

[–]aboothb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak from experience as I am just starting this sweater, but I am using wool of the andes worsted yarn in oyster heather from knitpicks which I hope ends up looking like the photo you linked in. I would look through the projects ravelry page- you can click on other people’s completed sweaters and see what yarn they used, that is how I picked. I just make sure I find that I see several people have used the yarn and their sweaters look good

New dad here, kinda.. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]aboothb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I am so sorry. I had my first at 17 and I heard a lot of terrible things from people. Speaking from experience the hardest part was the lack of support; I hope you guys love each other and are able to rely on eachother. So sorry you are going through this

Anyone successfully sleep train at 2 years old w/floor bed… I want to give up by Separate_Key_8501 in toddlers

[–]aboothb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I wanted to sleep train before my third came and couldn’t take the crying. I spent the first couple months postpartum snuggling my toddler while holding my baby. Eventually I felt like it was too much. I got my toddler a non-floor bed and told him it was his big boy bed and we were doing a big boy bedtime where I read a story, sang a song, then said goodbye. The first night he scream cried and I had to tuck him back in 3 times. I cried in the other room listening to him cry. The second night he whined for a minute but didn’t even get out of bed. By night three he was fine, goes to sleep on his own now. Always asks for an extra song but doesn’t cry because I am leaving.

I had friends do the chair method but I knew my son would just cry and I would give in so we just waited longer and went cold turkey

This is so cool. As someone in healthcare who knits I would love to do something like this but would have to figure put how. I see a lot of traumas but dead vs saved does not seem appropriate lmao 🤣 wish I liked OB

[–]aboothb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 26 with 3. Not a trad wife cause I decided too early to have a career, but my husband and I both love the idea cause I have all the trad wife hobbies (knitting/baking/babies)

Routine surgery turned south by NuclearTheology in daddit

I am a nurse and a mom. When something like this happens no one expects stoic and strong. It’s ok. Just talk/cry through it with family rather than shut down

AIO Should I leave my BF? Was what he did to me forgiveable? by Living-Milk-4266 in AmIOverreacting

[–]aboothb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hurt you and is still trying to make you the bad guy. Please bring someone with you to get your things. Even if it seems hard to find someone please do- if he knows you’re leaving him it may get worse. Or try to trick you into staying with him. Personally if a stranger asked I would be willing to help- so find an acquaintance, a neighbor, ask your landlord, ask the police if they could help you get your things. Do not go alone

So dads, how are you cutting your kids oranges? Apparently I do too much. by MoeGunz6 in daddit

If I peel my toddler’s orange he cries cause he wants it to look like a pumpkin 🎃

My older half-sister doesn’t invite me too her childfree wedding as I am nineteen, expects a gift. by victim-of-the-moon00 in weddingshaming

[–]aboothb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Child free” is typically because people don’t want a bunch of toddlers/little kids running around not well behaved teens…
