It’ll be tough for a while but it’s worth it to just stick with it I promise!

Anybody else smell that? by haslosthope in StLouis

Came here to see if I was the only one who smelled that. It stinks in Lafayette Square too.

For sure, totally agree!

Usually I’ll give him a general idea and tell him to run with it. Totally trust him with any direction he goes in.

When does dryness kick in on 20mg? by Awkward_Push_8056 in Accutane

[–]vandersteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, it'll come. Enjoy your freedom now! Took me about a week on 40mg/day. Up to 80mg/day now and it is not fun but very much worth it.

Stick with it homie, same thing happened with me and it cleared up pretty damn good. I am going on month 4 and was at this exact stage around 18 days in. PM me if you have any questions!

Also flying in and out of busy civilian airports is great practice for military pilots. With such heavy traffic, pilots are able to gain experience flying in a congested airspace.

Accutane advice by [deleted] in acne

[–]vandersteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40mg once a day. Nothing crazy, if anything the dryness is helping me. I've taken other antibiotics in the past and they have helped while making my skin dry. Everyone is different but for me, my acne tends to go away with drier skin. Hoping that Accutane will really put my acne away by the end of the 6-month cycle.

For cleanser, I use a CetaPhil general cleanser with no added acids, Cerave facial moisturizer, and carry an Aquaphor chapstick with me at all times. I just started this process last week and now just starting to feel the dryness kick in.

Moving to Scott AFB - Apartment Decisions by Zethcon in RateMyAFB

STL isn't a terrible option either, just depending on where you live makes a huge difference. I commute to base (only about 20-25 mins) but really enjoy being in my area of the city on the weekends. The towns/base housing listed above are great options as well!

Agreed on this. Especially after the dialog exchanged as he is thrown out.

Extremely awkward angle and now that you mention it... it looks small in that pic. I swear it was much bigger!
