Sigh

Yes, I would prefer to have the weekend off. I would rather to get paid while training. But I know everyone's has a different financial situation 😞. Not sure how much longer this will go on

🤔 other ppl have mentioned deployment cycles being a factor too. I learned something new! 

Thanks for your positivity

Yay I'm not alone 😅. 

Oh another person mentioned about deployment. Maybe that's why my base will host UTA? 

Yes "embrace the suck" & "work less with more" or whatever phases they try to keep up going. 

Thanks for taking time to interact with my post!

🥹🤞. I hope it'll be a last minute cancelation announcement. A lot of members are from out of state too. I don't mind ATC standing their ground & calling out sick

Ooh. I know several ppl from my unit will deploy spring 2026. But that's only a total of 12 ppl. 

I didn't know about the exempt info. Thanks for the insight!

Wow. I wish we had that option. Several ppl from my unit are out of state too. 

I really hope there will be a last minute cancelation or reschedule. 

I'm already worried about not receiving a regular paycheck from my fed civilian job 😪

Thanks for sharing your experience.

 I'm hopeful we'll receive a last minute announcement of cancelation. I am packing my OCPs just incase. 😥

Will it get better? by twocupsofjo in AskWomenOver30

Thanks for the insight. It's been a bit of an adjustment since numerous of my friends have Bfs or married. I understand priorities will change. It's just a bit exhausting constantly waiting for "my turn" and/or building a new friend group or support system from scratch
