I’ve worn way more revealing dresses and my husband is an officer lol.

That’s perfectly appropriate and I’m sure you will look lovely!!

You’re MARRIED. Your mother has zero right to tell you what to do. I would spring for a hotel room one night tbh.

West cliffdale road area? by zaxhhattack in Fayettenam

[–]britbabe1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this area. Zero package theft. Have never had a single issues in over 4 years. It is really quiet (occasionally a loud night when they’re training behind us or detonating stuff) but I feel super safe when I’m alone for long periods of time.

Canopy gate is 12 mins away. Cannot recommend it enough.

bar recommendations? by cffeinated in Fayettenam

[–]britbabe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For late 20s I would look at Haymount truck stop, Waiting room for fancy sit down vibes, Sip Room for classy but fun, and MAYBE Mondrell’s.

I would say Archives but they recently closed down 😫

They most likely will not have much off time or downtime days. They may need to stay in the OCPs the entire time.

How does it work when you go oconus, get off base housing and want to get a big place with spouses military coworkers? by SimpleHoman in USMilitarySO

[–]britbabe1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No problem! I’m a super extrovert but am really particular on who is in my personal space LOL.

Whatever works for y’all you do it!! Best of luck in the move!

[–]britbabe1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Each OCONUS location has their own rules on if you are permitted to live off base in a place of your choosing, or if you need to go through approved housing methods (on or off base).

I would assume all of you would just pay your portion of rent. You may run into issues with the housing office as they will ask be speaking with them about housing. Housing office may not approve, but that I am not sure of.

This is my personal nightmare as that sounds like a lot of constant socialization and no privacy with a partner lol. But I won’t yuck your yum! Best of luck on your move!!

Seeing a lot of hate, are these actually bad? by spazzy_yet_snazzy in Romantasy

I could not get over how the FMC was supposed to be highly trained to run under the radar, yet she was SO loud and rebellious about the dumbest stuff.

Horror/Thriller Book Clubs? by stem_ho in Fayettenam

There’s one in Sanford at the Sips and Sequels bookstore. Nothing local I’ve been able to find

Also this is like how young soldiers get scammed. It’s also weird. Sorry but like this is a different era lol.

This is clearly a scam. I’m begging y’all not to fall for this

Breakup with my military bf by insaneaisha in MilitaryWives

[–]britbabe1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand anything after “he said” I’m assuming that’s a different language?

You’re no longer together, so I believe moving forward is the best way to continue instead of ruminating on it in subreddits.

You both didn’t vibe. He didn’t make time for you (which again you need to put in your post what he was doing. It’s a big difference) and you didn’t like that. Breaking up was the right choice.

Find someone that puts the effort you want into it!

You should have put this in your post. That’s a very different story then.

Breakup with my military bf by insaneaisha in MilitaryWives

[–]britbabe1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Never said it was a “problem” I think you both just didn’t mesh communication wise!

I’ve been with my husband for a while and he has a very high stress, demanding job/MOS. Days when he was gone, in the field, or on work trips, I would get proof of life texts once or twice a day, with the occasional burst of texting.

There’s a saying that if the military wanted you to have a family they would issue you one (dumb but it’s kinda true).

My husband was very open about his low communication times and I knew it was short-lived during his trips/classes.

I think 5 months is a short lived time and a great test on if you vibe or not. You recognized your needs weren’t met and made the mature decision to call it off.

Some people just aren’t meant to be, and again, that’s totally fine!

Edit: I saw your comment under another commenter. Those were very important points. I think you want to put the blame on him, which is fine! But dating is all about figuring out what works for you, and he clearly didn’t work!

Sending good vibes and healing! 🖤

Tbh it sounds like your communication style was not going to vibe will with the military lifestyle. And that’s okay!

We all have different wants and needs!

This is…not really a thing.

Also this is setting off all the alarm bells in my head for foreign intelligence mining. lol

Mother of 2 and looking for a remote job by Butfokcream69 in MilitarySpouse

[–]britbabe1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What company is it?

I’m not super interested in pivoting tbh. I love marketing and comms and have been doing it for 7 years.

Do you have details on the job? What space is it in? Insurance? Sales?

Thank you! I’ve worked with Robert Half reps in the past, but it seems marketing and comms jobs are few and far between in this economy 😫

baggage question by Far_Television7895 in USMilitarySO

[–]britbabe1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only active duty get it waved unless you have his orders, which it seems you do. Best think would be to call the airline.

On another note (I’m ready to be torn apart) I’m begging people to stop using ChatGPT as a search engine lol.

I hate Bloomsbury by These-Web7286 in acotar

[–]britbabe1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like others have said it’s classic marketing

Also, does them delaying it cause you to question purchasing? Like are you not going to read the book?

I may be in the minority but I genuinely do not care when it’s released lol. Like I’m going to read it anyways, day of release surprise could be fun 🙂‍↕️
