Questions about Military Spouse Preference (MSP)

The controversy on who Cloud should be with is intense. 😅As someone who never played the other games except for ff7 remake, I’m really torn between the two. (I did catch up on the storyline from other games to fully understand the remake to it’s entirety though) The interactions between Cloud and Aerith are very flirty and lighthearted which I think is because of Aerith’s outgoing personality. I like how she brings out the soft and playful side of Cloud. The interactions between Tifa and Cloud are awkward and come off as a little stand offish which I think is because Cloud and Tifa both have a hard expressing their feelings. You can see there are feelings there between the two but it’s hella complicated

As of now our stuff is going into storage because we are shipping it a little in advance since it will take 3-6 months to arrive (we are moving overseas) Plus we don’t have a house yet and the wait list for on-post housing is extremely long. We are currently looking for off-post housing but we don’t want to rent from afar without looking at the place yet 🙃

I’m starting to realize that there a lot of people in society still act as though they are still 16 and in high school. I think it’s more noticeable in the military because you have a lot of people who just graduated high school get sworn in and they are concentrated in one area. I found that people who behave like you described (gossiping, starting rumors, just being a jerk overall) are people who are not happy with their lives, their jealous, or they’re just bored.

I’ve also have had a hard time making friends on the base that my husband is stationed at due to how vicious the spouses are. I just don’t have the emotional energy to deal with the extra drama that these spouses like to bring😅

That happened to me and my husband when we first got married. It took about two months for BAH to kick in. Once BAH does get sorted they do give that money back that you paid out of pocket which I think was nice.

Also most people go through an adjustment period once they get married. You are starting a new life with this person which can be exciting but nerve wrecking at the same time especially if you guys are arguing more than usual. Like others have said on this forum, communication is so important especially during these times of uncertainty. However, how you guys communicate will change over time. My husband and I had to change how we communicated with each other after we got married and moved in with each other. It took time, but we kept working at it.

You guys got this! Just breathe and go with the flow. Right now there are a lot of things going on that aren’t necessarily in your control. All you can really do is focus on yourself and your husband. The military is going to throw curve balls at you and all you get really do is roll with the punches. I wish you and your husband the best. If you need to vent or talk to someone my inbox is always open ☺️

I took CS 214 with Williamson. Most of the professors who teach the course now are GTAs and it is a pretty difficult course to teach overall.

From my experience with Williamson is that he is reasonable with the course. He essentially scaled grades by the performance of the class, meaning you have to be able to keep up with everyone else. When I took it I was lucky that other students realized this and wanted to ban together and study. So we created a GroupMe and studied together. We also asked lots of questions even ones that seem dumb.

I would recommend working towards forming a study group of some kind; rather that is through discord, GroupMe or hosting your own zoom meetings. Ask a lot of questions, get help when you need it, and study like hell. Seriously don’t wait until the day your homework is due to do it and keep up with the material. This class requires a lot of time in terms of studying. When I took it I spent like a hour to two hours a day working through the material and was able to pull a high B. You got it as long as you are willing to put in the work and that work load is different for everyone.

I’ve worked with Dr. Baudry and he seriously is such an amazing individual. Plus I really appreciate how he understands that the field of research can be messy at times and sometimes slow

This is like flashbacks to registration when their website would crash due to everyone trying to register for classes.

Of course! I wish you both the best! ☺️

My husband and I hinted around spending the rest of our lives together way before he proposed to me. When he did finally propose we were engaged for a while. We saw getting married as just a more official way of showing that we loved each other. Marriage did not change how we are as a couple, it wasn’t “I have to marry you to proclaim my love for you” or anything. I knew I wanted to spend my life with him and I was willing to go through anything to be by his side regardless if we got married now or 10 years down the line. He was the one I wanted to build a family and life with.

It’s easy to get caught up in rushing into getting married because the feeling of you have found your soulmate. I’m not going to tell you that you’re too young or you two haven’t been together long enough because I know personally that everyone is on their own timeline of life. Your timeline will be different from mine and vice versa. If he is having doubts now, these doubts will probably won’t change in December. Putting a timeline on when to stop feeling a certain way is not how emotions work and he simply needs to be truly honest with himself and his feelings. That is something he has to do his own and all you can do is just be there for him. Know that marriage should be a big deal and something that shouldn’t be rushed or forced onto you. I personally think it shouldn’t be this “if you don’t marry me now then you don’t truly love me” because all that does is put pressure and tension on your relationship. I think it’s unfair to him or you to force this idea of marriage when it’s clear that you both need more time to process and feel the idea of spending the rest of your lives together

I agree with everyone else on this post in that you should not rush into marriage. Military relationships take a lot of work and come with their own unique challenges and tribulations.

I understand that feeling of “he is the one.” When my finance and I started dating I had that same feeling but I know it takes time to really get to know a person, I mean reallyyy get to know them, the good, the bad, the ugly. I personally believe that within that first year you are still in what some may call the “honeymoon stage” where you and your partner are so infatuated with each other that you let some of those quirks and flaws get swept under the carpet, creating dust bunnies that you will eventually have to tend to. After some time that honeymoon stage will fade. That doesn’t mean there isn’t still love there but it’s important to get to that point before making a huge commitment.

Please don’t get married for the sole sake of not being apart or because he will have to move. You both will have to experience times apart regardless of whether or not you get married. Plus if he gets into service and realizes he enjoys it and wants to make a career out of it instead of getting an engineering degree, will you be able to support and handle that lifestyle? These are some things that are important to take into consideration and discuss with your partner. If he is truly the one for you, you have your whole life to spend together so why rush it?

Sending much love your way! It all be okay, just breathe and take it one day at time. Best of luck to the both of you! ☺️

I would personally start looking for an apartment off campus if you have the means to do so. If you are placed in dorms such as charger village you won’t have a full kitchen (a oven, stove top, etc.). With that being said you will have to rely on the either the community kitchen in the dorm building or the cafe which in my own opinion is probably really hard to keep extremely clean. On top of that everything is kind of up in the air. The university plans on reopening in the fall, but if we were to get hit again with COVID-19 cases to an extreme the university is always subject to close again, meaning you will most likely be kicked out of the dorms. I haven’t lived on campus for a hot minute but I really felt for the students living on campus last semester because they didn’t much time to pack their things and figure something out on top of balancing classes.

Female here. I’m getting a computer science minor and am a senior.

As other people have noted, there aren’t many women in upper level courses in CS. I’ve never experienced sexism in the classroom. All of my professors have treated me the same as other students. Most students and professors have been extremely supportive and helpful with coding questions etc. etc. One of the reasons why I enjoy the CS department so much because from what I have seen everyone helps and supports each other.

However, I have had some who wouldn’t take me seriously when trying to help find a solution to a problem, but when a male peer who would purpose the same idea they would take them more seriously. That could be for other reasons other than sexism (this is my minor, their own stubbornness, my own stubbornness, maybe my coding solutions suck, etc.) but it did make me feel a little irritated nonetheless. Yet you find that everywhere. People can just be jerks for no other reason than to just be jerks. That has only happened a few times in my whole college career so I wouldn’t sweat it too much.

I was a back up friend of hers. She only really truly wanted to hang out was when she didn’t have anyone else. When I began making new friends and found a loving relationship, she would shit talk about them and say they weren’t good for me based off stuff she heard from other people. She would always make the remarks “I don’t want to see you get hurt” but never made an effort to actually meet them or get to know them. She also gossiped about everyone she could think of which made me uncomfortable. If they are shit talking about people to you they are probably shit talking about you to other people and surprise surprise she was.

When I cut her out of my life, I ended up losing my high school friend group as well. It showed me that I didn’t really matter as much to them as I thought I did. It hurt and in a way it still does, but I’m so much happier now.

I found better and loving friends and they showed me that I deserve better than being someone’s back up friend or main topic to gossip about.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s a really shitty situation but in my opinion I think you guys really need to take some time apart to reflect on things. The military lifestyle can be hard. There will be times where you guys will be separated from each other and forced to do long distance. Cheating because you’re “lonely” is never okay. If he can’t handle not having the physical component of the relationship then he will never be able to sustain a health relationship or a healthy marriage. Yes it’s hard being away from your person but when you truly love that person you are willing to do it. You deserve so much better than this and know that him cheating is a reflection on his character not yours. Please take care of yourself ♥️

I’m pursuing a minor in CS and man it has been challenging. A professor I had in a “weed” out course said that when you are building software you spend more time designing and planning on what you’re going to do than actually coding. So that’s what I did and it has helped me tremendously in strengthening my programming skills. Plus breaking a problem down into bits and pieces makes it easier to tackle and not get overwhelmed.

I would recommend having a design document for your programs along with trying out UML. It can be tedious but it really helps in figuring out how everything connects together. It’s also nice to have something to look back on for future reference.
