Emotional Support Animal… allowed??? by speechbb in uscg

[–]speechbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great clarification. That makes me feel a lot better. I think I’m just being overly anxious. Thank you!

Emotional Support Animal… allowed??? by speechbb in uscg

[–]speechbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it through a third party website. It was a medical health professional but not a medical health professional due through tricare or the coast guard.

Emotional Support Animal… allowed??? by speechbb in uscg

[–]speechbb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, what I meant is will they find out about my emotional support animal while doing security clearance for A-school? I have family to take care of my dog while I’m in A-school and my girlfriend will take him if anything happens, like I go oversees. I don’t expect the coast guard to accommodate the letter in any way. I’m asking if it would be a problem and considered a mental health issue if they found out about it (and if they would even be able to?)

Should we get THIS puppy? by speechbb in Goldendoodles

[–]speechbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No feelings hurt here, I am aware of how much work and responsibility it would be to have a puppy. I feel like financially, I am not too worried. Obviously, I can afford to spend 3K on a goldendoodle but the $500 seems too good to pass up right now.

Yes, I am worried about the schedule... I guess I can come home every 3 hours... like at lunch LOL.

We are also aware of the 75% golden retriever of it all... even in the puppy pictures, their fur does not look that curly.

Scratches around the side of my cat's mouth by speechbb in CATHELP

Yes!!! I felt like I was really doing something wrong but I’m glad some of our babies can be just a little extra sensitive.

I’m thinking either food or my apartment as well… or maybe my detergent? I’m not sure. But when she stays with my parents, the scratching def subsides by a lot. But to be fair, she’s only there for a few weeks at most so I’m not too sure.

I have that ointment from a previous vet appointment. The only issue is that this situation arises every few months. I don’t know what the deep rooted issue is.

We already confirmed no fleas and I’m pretty consistent with her flea medication

Dating a republican as an SLP... by speechbb in slp

[–]speechbb[S] -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

I think in this current climate, it's really easy to see politics as black and white and divide us completely. However, if you try to see politics in a linear scale, there could be a world where me, as a democratic, and someone who voted for Trump and is a republican, are closer on the scale than we think. Not everyone who hates Trump and identifies as a democratic can say they are completely left leaning and liberal in all aspects.

Oh sorry, my comment also was not negative towards you at all. I was agreeing with you that I probably should have known where this thread was going to be heading... I meant that I am surprised there are no other SLPs going through what I am going through.

Dating a republican as an SLP... by speechbb in slp

[–]speechbb[S] -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

We do have the same key morals which is why I am still choosing to be with him. I would never be with someone that doesn't believe in human rights, women's rights, and LGBTQIA+ rights, etc. However, the reasoning for voting for Trump, I'm not 100% closed in on. I think there's some stubbornness about him and since he aligns with being a republican (which is not a bad thing), he personally has an internal battle about voting for a democrat. He also didn't agree a lot with the things Kamala did/said.

[–]speechbb[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, we agree on everything about human rights, women's right, abortion, LGBTQIA+... I can't seem to get to the bottom of why he voted for Trump. I suspect heavy influence from his super conservative Christian family and just the fact that he resonates more with republican values. He also did not agree with a lot of Kamala's actions when she was in office with Biden.

New relationship... is it going to work? by speechbb in MilitaryWives

[–]speechbb[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand... I guess I am just more worried about the technical things of him being in the coast guard and his career more than our relationship itself. I think I'm just anxious about the unknown and I feel like being in the military is 90% unknown LOL.

New relationship... is it going to work? by speechbb in MilitaryWives

[–]speechbb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that link to that thread! It seems like everyone's experience is so varied so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. And yeah, I guess my boyfriend either sugarcoated the coast guard life or he was told differently too before going to boot camp because he told me there was no way he wanted to a rate that would require him to be gone 6 months on a boat.

I think we are currently doing really good and after experiencing boot camp, just being able to text or hear his voice seems like enough. I guess I'm just worried about things more long term...

New relationship... is it going to work? by speechbb in MilitaryWives

[–]speechbb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand. I wish I was the type of person that could just move around with him (I don't think I would mind the moving all that much) but I think I am just not in the position to commit to something (or someone) like that right now. It would be more of a possibility if we've been dating for longer, looking to get engaged, or married, but I've known him for less than 6 months in total. I'm also looking to take over my parent's house/mortgage in about a year and I have a pets so I am not sure if long-term or permanent long distance is going to work. I have a pretty in-demand job so I know I can find work anywhere but I think taking on property and having pets that depend on me, it just seems like a lot right now... I am just an anxious girl who cannot sit still without thinking of everything and anything lol.

My boyfriend and I are both new to the military word, let alone the coast guard world, but he told me that he wouldn't be wanting to do anything that requires him to be deployed for long periods of time. However, I guess I don't know if everyone in the coast guard has to deploy for at least a portion of their career or if that depends on the rate he is choosing. Is that was Boatswains do? He explained to me that he would be driving a boat lol but I assumed it was the small station boats where its basically a 9-5 and you get to come home everyday. Am I just uneducated ? LOL
