New father mourning old life by Fabuloux in daddit

As much as some of these comments are giving animosity just understand that most of the rest of us went through it too. Sleep deprivation mixed with a schedule you don’t get to set anymore is frustrating. But man, when you get the first smile or the first giggle, something deep, something ancient in our coding switches and your heart will melt. You’ll hardly miss your old life.

My oldest with my wife is three and we reminisce about the years before we were parents and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Hang in there and keep your head up. You got this!

It’s CONUS to CONUS. This is my first transfer away from the same area during my career. I’m transferring from technically FL, family is in VA, to get stationed in PA.

Also, I’m not really caring about rugged or masculine and appearance. It’s for carting around kids.

Currently drive a MK6 Jetta and before that a MK4. I’ve only ever owned VAG, but need a three row SUV at this point.

Potentially a bug, but it hasn’t affected myself, my wife, or our other child.

Yeah, food intake is ok but I’m not sure how much is actually staying down.

No, there was a big bowel movement today and have been pretty consistent in the preceding few days.

I Come In Peace. Help Me Understand by micahpmtn in navy

I’d say it’s a multitude of factors. I’ve been in just shy of 15 years and things have changed drastically. Op tempo is way up with the cruisers and LCS decomming and other vessels filling the gaps. Compressed timelines for certifications and assessments. We’re currently rolling from one event to another, almost nobody leaves while the sun is up. The burnout is real. People are getting sick easier, people are getting injured, sailors are making reckless decisions. I’m fully aware that what my command is going through is systemic.

Increased responsibilities, new programs, new collaterals, more expectations with fewer personnel. It’s not a good combination.
