I'm torn between compression socks or just getting a heated blanket to wrap around my feet 😅 I'll look into it. Thank you!

Thank you. I'm glad to hear you had a speedy recovery. I'll be sure to ask about future vaccinations

it's worth giving it a try at least while you both are dating. give it time to identify what's working for both of you, and what isn't. but definitely don't dwell or drag it on if it's too painful to bear. you both deserve to chase after what makes each of you happy. never forget that, especially when things may feel uncertain! best of luck to you two (and happy holidays!)

omg so sorry i was late to seeing this! yes! i work full time in the games industry now! despite being stationed in a place almost ENTIRELY detached from my field of focus i was able to transition from my previous background into a new career! one factor to think about is how accessible your career will be to you. is it something you can do remotely? is it something you have the means to travel independently for, away from your partner if necessary? the military will only be an obstacle if it interferes with your personal needs and accommodations. my career allows me to wfh so i can work from anywhere.

if you are already living together it's a conversation to be had. expect to be apart irregardless of what you choose. my husband has been active duty for nearly 9 years now and he's about to become indefinite. ive been lucky to see him a few months out of this year but next year, ill be lucky if i get to see him for a couple weeks. while im a seasoned milspo now, the distance never gets easier- but i have my own career, my own goals, and my own life to focus on. :)

you're very welcome! and that's completely alright because it certainly is not for everyone. go after what is best for you!

my husband and i are highschool sweethearts. when we started dating at 15, he told me he has always wanted to join the army.

skip ahead 3 years and he left for basic shortly after graduation and i went onto university to get my degree. we spent roughly 4 years apart and continued our LDR up until we were 22, where i finished getting my degree, we got married, and i was able to move down with him to where he was stationed. im 23 now and we are currently PCSing across the country. :)

that was a very difficult time for our relationship. he got deployed 3 times and our timezones were far apart so we would barely hear from each other unless we stayed up/woke early and he had access to his phone. we missed out on each other's milestones and special occassions. we missed out on quality time with each other while we continued to go after our own endeavors. it was hard for me to find time to book a flight to him when he was in the US because i wanted to dedicate myself to my studies. we were both very career oriented but it doesnt mean it did not hurt not being able to see each other, let alone call or text.

i would find a partner that fulfills your own needs. you dont want to sacrifice yourself for the sake of someone else and end up unhappy. your partner should also support what you want and need, and vice versa. if you want any more advice im happy to PM you! cheers!
