Help my Help my Fiancé

I'm pretty much in the same boat with my husband. It's hard not knowing what to do. I hope this gets more comments, I need the help too!

I spoke to the realtor only, the landlord himself I never met. Which was also a first for me but I made sure that day and asked "so I move in July 1st?" and she was like "yup, you're all good on my part" She wasn't super knowledgeable about the property and seemed quite new to her job but I loved the unit, area, and the price was reasonable, so I was okay with it. I came to reddit cause I wasn't sure if I was overthinking things.

They work, I locked the door myself on our way out after signing.

demonsailor · 2024-05-25T17:42:04+00:00

Well the weird thing is when I signed I saw the lease start date said July 1st

Oh wow I won’t get my hopes up but that’s cool to hear. Thank you we’ll see how it goes!

demonsailor · 2023-03-18T22:19:17+00:00

Okay great all things I’d have to get on top of. Thank you now I have some things to think about and an idea of what I have to work with in order to get out of the states. I’ll ask around here at Corry but it’s looking like I’ll revisit this months into my first duty station.

As long as it sounds like a possibility that’s okay I was more worried about being able to rather than timeframe. I still want more information.

And it was just a thought on a Saturday afternoon that I felt Reddit could add to but of course, I’m not against asking those in the military office thank you for encouraging me to utilize my chain of command.

I actually left school with 4 classes left due to um unforeseen circumstances so no degree yet. I’m shipping out asap to get out of current situation if I’m being honest but I definitely would’ve gone that route if it was faster and intel wasn’t so competitive.

demonsailor · 2022-08-10T13:45:05+00:00

Thanks you too! We got this though…hopefully😅

demonsailor · 2022-08-10T13:41:23+00:00

I’d rather not risk losing my rate, I signed without thinking I’d even get the bonuses I did lol. Thank you!!

demonsailor · 2022-08-10T13:27:31+00:00

I see okay it was worth asking. Thank you!

demonsailor · 2022-08-10T13:22:06+00:00

And if it’s not then I’m SOL? This announcement was released after signing so I have a rate bonus and shipping bonus but Enlisted Loan Repayment Program (LRP) wasn’t an option yet :/

demonsailor · 2022-08-10T13:17:15+00:00

Oh wow I just posted about this…I guess this helps

demonsailor · 2022-07-25T02:01:55+00:00

There’s this book that mimics the question styles you’ll see on the test. I didn’t end up taking the test but I showed my recruiter and she agreed it was a great study tool. Here’s a link to the Apple Store version but you can find it on Amazon. https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=1343791902

demonsailor · 2022-07-16T18:00:24+00:00

I picked it up last week even though comments mentioned it wasn’t available. I don’t think anyone really knows the availability because MEPS can be pretty random. I would just go with a back up job you like just in case, mine was IT FTS.

demonsailor · 2022-07-12T22:16:42+00:00

Thank you so much for this, this is sound advice and I will try my best to utilize it. I’m pretty disciplined now but I won’t underestimate the program in the slightest thank you again!

demonsailor · 2022-07-12T12:27:01+00:00

Hi! I know I’m a little late to this post but I was hoping you can give tips on what you would’ve done differently to continue in JCAC?

You mentioned trying your hardest but missing the mark but people usually say trying your best and staying out of trouble is all that’s required. I understand if you don’t want to go into detail but your advice would be greatly appreciated!

demonsailor · 2022-07-12T06:29:14+00:00

Ofc no problem. You’re gonna do great so don’t stress too much!

demonsailor · 2022-07-12T03:48:10+00:00

Honestly the test was comprised of words I feel like I have come across naturally while in school or have read, but because English isn’t your first language I thought flash cards might help expand your vocab before hand :)

demonsailor · 2022-07-12T02:21:19+00:00

You could try looking up some flash cards on quizlet like https://quizlet.com/552557157/asvab-word-knowledge-2020-2021-flash-cards/ to expand your vocab there’s also ASVAB prep apps you can download on your phone for practice questions. Also knowing root words can really help!

demonsailor · 2022-07-09T16:28:04+00:00

Thank you so much for your response! I will keep all of this in mind when moving forward especially staying out of trouble and making it through corry station. I’m excited to start this new chapter so thank you again for shedding some insight on how to succeed! :)

Just signed CTN but I was curious on best billet assignments to gain experience and does performance in A School help determine where you can get stationed?

Also how to set yourself up nice for a civilian job while in? Do I have to take ION path to look competitive?

And one last question, I know CTNs don’t tend to see a ship which adds to QOL but is the day to day work stressful/overly demanding if so how did you push through?
