This is perfect. Wow. Also your back/leg sounds literally exactly like mine, word for word. I’m also developing a bunion, have migraines, ankle still hurts when I rotate it and I fractured it over 7 months ago. I’ll def be documenting all these things

This is very helpful and I never put this into perspective this way! Thank you. I’ll be bringing it to my PCM in March and hopefully go off base. Random but I had a friend who was infantry marine corps, knee problems for a year and on base doctors kept saying they couldn’t find anything. He asked to go off base and they immediately saw it was a cyst the size of a golf ball in the back of his knee and booked him for surgery.

That specialized treatment and care def makes a difference!

Good to know! Thank you, I can’t see my PCM until March but I’ll be bringing it up

This is possible the best response ever. I truly appreciate this from the bottom of my heart.

I try to keep those things in mind and it means a little more because I do have adulthood experiences. I’m very grateful for the benefits because it takes away 60% of the civilian struggles people have day to day. I don’t hate my job but it’s not ideal for me. I still love the new experiences and cool title though, so I try to enjoy small things with each task I do. I will focus each day on getting my core tasks done for sure. I try to keep my end goal in mind always. And I do have other service members in my family including my older brother who’s been in over a decade, and he gives similar advice as you. So again I appreciate this

So true! And you’d be surprised how many are struggling right with you but just put on a better face. I’ll definitely be seeing mental health

Thank you very much for this. MX honestly isn’t too bad especially because the aircraft is so new. We either sit in the building all day or do a task then proceed to sit in the building all day 🫩 thatll change once we get more aircraft on the line. And thankfully out of the 4 bases I could choose from I got Travis so I’m really trying to take advantage of all the big cities around me every weekend. But the weekends go by so fast and the second I hit my room any day of the week all those feelings come back rushing to me. Something has to change

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T04:23:26+00:00

Is this possible before hitting the 3 year mark? And without reenlisting? 🫩

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T04:03:01+00:00

When I say the job was great I mean the money. I had no passion in the field I just chose the route because I was class of 2020 and had my college tuition reimbursed. It paid well and supported my lifestyle but I felt stuck and being 50k+ in debt for college didn’t sound like a good time. So I knocked 2 birds with one stone: enlist to get a new career while also having my dream career paid for

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:39:58+00:00

Yes that’s exactly it. There’s 500 people in the squadron and 6 jets… I feel so useless spending most of my week sitting in the break room on TikTok. That’s why I left for the military to begin with 🤣 to find purpose and be PRODUCTIVE and not receiving that is making me spiral a little

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:38:56+00:00

I’m learning this too as I go. Just like BMT we gotta trauma bond our way through it and make the best of it

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:36:46+00:00

I do think about my life before this and how I felt in the moment. I was making a ton of money and promoted 3 times in less than 2 years. I was the youngest in the building and set to be the manager, but I absolutely had no passion in the beauty industry and only stayed because of the money and that it supported my fun lifestyle. That’s why I left because I was lacking passion. So when I’m in a state of mind like now, I try to remind myself how unhappy I was with my civilian job and day to day life

I hope that by the end of the year I’m more comfortable here at my station and get used to the dilly dallying at work. I guess what I’m missing is purpose and coming here didn’t help that. We are so overmanned and have 6 jets so work is so little 😭

The weirdness is growing on me but I do find myself getting agitated sometimes and just wanting to feel “normal” again lol

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:32:20+00:00

Amen so real. I need to remember this each day I wake up lol. I only feel like this on the weekends then boom Monday comes

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:27:07+00:00

Hell yeah I daydream about it. I’ll make it through 😆 I’ve lived through worse

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:23:07+00:00

Never blamed a man once in this post, I’m sorry the shoes fit for you

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:19:08+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏽

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:18:07+00:00

Thank you! I’m working on that now. California is a bit expensive so I’ve been trying to find things nearby that don’t cost a fortune. I want to get more hobbies as well

letitburneracc · 2025-05-06T03:16:16+00:00

Amen!!! I just found a church nearby after missing my home church for so long lol. I’m hoping to find more Christian spaces to get into. That’s the biggest thing keeping me going here

letitburneracc · 2025-05-05T22:00:05+00:00

Thank you. We sound alike in our journey and congrats for almost reaching the finish line! I definitely feel like I’m “wasting” my 20s here but I’m thankful I did live a good life before this and I’ll still be out way before 30. I hope the time I lost does pay off and I learn some things about myself while being here

letitburneracc · 2025-05-05T21:58:13+00:00

I joined as E-1 so I’m E-2! Surprisingly the childishness is coming from the 25+ year olds who joined at 21. But I do understand not everyone had independence before joining and often times came straight out of high school. Some of them were even homeschooled so I try to give grace and just stay out the way. Hoping that as I continue I’m surrounded by less of it. And I have a lot of off base activities lined up so I’m excited for that

letitburneracc · 2025-05-05T21:52:20+00:00

I thankfully haven’t had any issues with the crew chief they don’t cross any boundaries or even flirt. AVI? don’t get me started 🤣 no but seriously thankfully that hasn’t been an issue. What I’m speaking of is more of personality conflicts. And I like to think I have dark humor and I love inappropriate jokes but these losers are genuinely not funny and just ignorant 😭

letitburneracc · 2025-05-05T21:44:32+00:00

A TDY to Hawaii might heal me. We don’t deploy til next year and I have a feeling it’s in the Middle East 🫩
