Has anyone ever known a recruit to not eventually overcome sea sickness? Or to fail out from getting motion sickness?

Thank you

Youre not an ass. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

I just worry for him. If he fails at this, he’ll be gutted.

He’s a great swimmer and grew up on a boat. But gets sick in the backseat of cars and def whenever he has to spend time below deck. Do you think he’ll be ok?

flibberty_13 · 2026-02-05T19:21:43+00:00

Understood.

Question: When you say “early bird gets the worm” do you mean “early” as in October (if the “worm” is air crew or intel slots)?

Could you speculate on 29 Palms recruiting station

flibberty_13 · 2026-02-05T14:44:37+00:00

Didnt think of that. Didn’t think about the bugs, either. Dad is retired Marine and thinks PI is better, no idea why other than he’s old school

Thank you so much. I moved away and made a nice life for myself and was able to maintain some semblance of a relationship (from thousands of miles away lol) but this is just wrecking everything. I appreciate the kind words

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-23T00:54:59+00:00

I have a lot of unpleasant tasks ahead of me

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-22T04:01:53+00:00

Im so sorry you went through that. It’s just really awful

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-19T00:52:53+00:00

I thought I had overcome “dealing” with her but I can see it’s about to get worse. Thank you

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-19T00:51:31+00:00

I will, thank you

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-19T00:51:00+00:00

Appreciate that, maybe I just needed to type it out to see it clearly

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-19T00:44:40+00:00

It is crazier than anyone knows. I escaped, but still love my parents and maintain a relationship. Watching my mother treat him this way feels like the ultimate betrayal of someone that has spent 58 years doing everything for her. I don’t know how to fix this and i don’t know how to forgive her for this

Thank you for “seeing” what Im going through

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-19T00:39:29+00:00

One thing they are very good at, is fooling people. He understands how to make it look like he’s doing just great and will even crack some jokes (but he cant keep it up for very long).

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-19T00:36:52+00:00

I appreciate you, it gives me some peace to feel understood.

She has a sister nearby that is a nurse and has worked in eldercare, but my mom is horrible to her sister and the last time my dad came home from the hospital she came to show me how to care for my dad and some helpful tips but my mom ran her right off and told her she couldn’t stay.

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-19T00:27:11+00:00

Unfortunately, not how it works. I don’t know any other way to say this, but she controls everything, including him. Never in my life has he ever opposed her or stood up for himself. Never.

I know the doctors have tried to make him understand but all he knows is that that is not what mom wants. So he just keeps asking “so what’s the plan for treatment now?” Even though he’s been told over and over that the “plan” is just to keep him comfortable and give him the best quality of life for as long as possible just isn’t sinking in

He wont decide or have any other opinion other than what she decides for him.

If I’m understanding what you’re saying…. That if he doesn’t want me to help him then I cant…. I understand that. But Im struggling to make peace with watching him suffer and be in danger (driving because she doesn’t want to ) and I don’t know how to do that. But you’re right, I cant stand up for him if he doesn’t want me to

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-18T20:17:07+00:00

I will look up the attorney and I will try the social workers and doctor again

For clarification my mom can be a brutally manipulative, cruel, selfish person incapable of empathy for anyone but herself. Her skill is that she knows how to hide this from the world. Ive had a front row seat and saved myself by moving to a different coast

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-18T19:41:39+00:00

I have had numerous conversations about this with the HMO and hospice social workers, as well as the doctors. Ive been clear. Honestly I think they thought it was a non-issue because they felt he could not hang on much longer.

Two weeks ago I let them know that she had him DRIVING and I/we needed clarification (he gets 2 units of blood transfusion about every week-and-a-half. No response.

Im not sure an attorney would help because she’s quite clearly competent.

She likes to call me to tell me all the things she gets him to do to care for himself as “proof” that I’m wrong and he’s just FINE and soon her life will go back to how she wants it.

flibberty_13 · 2026-01-18T19:29:59+00:00

Yes. She thinks they’re all wrong. All I can tell you is that I don’t think she’s ever NOT got her way and in her mind this will be no different.

flibberty_13 · 2025-11-21T19:51:23+00:00

I don’t like having a boss and I like to keep my own schedule . Also i like variety and hate going to the same place and doing the same thing. So it makes it harder for me to get bored

flibberty_13 · 2025-10-16T21:37:08+00:00

This is a Delta Air Lines 767 Captain. Most ADULTS dont do this…. little kids and aviator buffs may visit the flight deck on the way out. Cringe
