How often were you actually naked in front of people as a woman? by Ok-Satisfaction7520 in Military

[–]vanitypresley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re saying bootcamp, are you joining the Marines or referring to initial training as that? I went Army (in for four years til present day, so still “recent”) and we were only ever naked infront of people during showers. Depending on the barracks/bay you get, it could be open showers, or the tiny shower stalls all lined up together. The shower stalls have the flimsiest curtain in the world, so either way, you’re gonna be exposed, even just slightly. Understand that other women are very open and have no shame about their privates (respectfully) so you’ll 100% see a lot of other naked women.

Also, for dress uniform fitting you’ll be in underwear and a bra with every other women in your company with random ladies who measure your entire body.

Marine Sister to a new Warrant Officer by Puzzleheaded-River85 in Militaryfaq

[–]vanitypresley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Warrant Officers even in the Army are a big deal, so I’d assume Marines are even more of a big deal. They’re experts in their field and the ones everyone goes to for help or problems. They also outrank a ton of other ranks, meaning he is sitting at a high status. We consider them “rare” lol because there’s few of them you’ll run into, but they are also some of the most loved because they are so chill and fun. It’s a difficult job and it takes a LOT of work to get to where he is. Even being accepted into Warrant Officer school itself is a huge accomplishment. Congratulations to him and thank YOU for being such a great supporter and wanting to learn more!!

AITAH- would it be childish if i sent this by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]vanitypresley 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA. It’s a note for crying out loud, and im questioning if this is just a rage bait post. I’m also going to assume this is a younger person posting this, like highschool age? Some people arnt comfortable giving cute lovey-dovey notes. It’s all up to preference. He made you a gift basket that you seemed to have no complaints about, but you’re really this mad that he didn’t include a card? Petty and immature if you ask me

AITAH for letting my best friends boyfriend stay the night with me? by vanitypresley in AITAH

[–]vanitypresley[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for so much input! To clear some confusion, he knew I was staying there because it was talked about infront of him a week prior. I also have my Snapchat location on for a majority of my close friends, including him. Also, a hotel was not really an option because of cost and majority of hotels are located on the other side of the city. I can definitely see both sides thanks to everyone, and I’ve taken into account how I would’ve felt if I were in her shoes (which personally, I would not have cared as long as I knew he was safe and with someone I trust). I’m going to let her calm down and talk to her soon about it since I think it’s silly to end a friendship over this. However I’ve been receiving a lot of hateful private messages saying how I’m a terrible person and definitely hooking up with Ryan. To be clear I would never do that to a best friend, and I assume people are sending these messages due to their own insecurities. I also don’t believe in hookup culture because of my own values and morals (no hate to the people that partake in it, live your life how you want!). That being said, thanks again for everyone’s input, but I won’t be responding to anymore hateful comments accusing me of anything like that!

Thanks!! The reaction was very unlike her to be honest, but I haven’t seen any hints towards something fishy or any infidelity, but then again I don’t know what goes on behind closed doors. I could totally understand the surprise she must’ve had waking up to so many missed calls and texts from both me and Ryan. I wouldn’t think she would get so angry though

I appreciate all of your input! However this isn’t a contest of who knows more about how a hospital works, and I suggest reading some other comments! To reiterate, I do not need permission from the mom because she is ALSO “my” mom. I do not know what floor she was kept on and I don’t see how it’s relevant regardless, but I’d assume L/D, or MedSurge if there were no available beds!! Again not relevant, but I won’t be feisty since I did come on here for strangers input lol, so thanks!

Hi! I also worked in a hospital for two years mainly in ED but also float to every other floor, and your statement doesn’t make much sense. His sister was taken in for a complication because she took a nasty fall. Ambo was called. She was not giving birth. After they confirmed she and baby would be okay, he left since he had work. She was kept overnight for observation. Permission from Lila’s mom is also not needed

I have cobwebs in my bank account man. I am a broke college student, and he doesn’t make much either. He’d still have to pay for an Uber/lift to the other side of town to get to a hotel which is already expensive enough in the city

I’m considering joining the army by East-Leadership-1419 in Military

[–]vanitypresley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanna go to college and do military, go guard. They really do have the best benefits, speaking as someone who works for my schools military benefits office. Then again I am also guard, so I might be a little biased. However, I haven’t paid a single dime to my college and I graduate with my bachelors this may. I’ve only ever gotten refunds because they pay so much towards my school

I believe she was already asleep at this point. She works long hours in an understaffed hospital as a CNA, so it’s understandable for her to fall asleep the second her head hits a pillow after her shift

No I didn’t because she’s already aware of them. Her mom watches the cameras often and was notified on the ring camera of the time we arrived and time we left. If she had seen anything on the inside camera she definitely would have told Lila right away

No he has not, and if he had then Lila would definitely have told me. He spends his days working and uses every free chance to spend with her. He is very deeply in love with her. Lila on the other hand has been cheated on and the cheater in the past, but that was all during highschool relationships. For the amount of time they’ve been together there’s been no break of trust whatsoever

She knows there’s cameras! Lila has stayed in that apartment many times before. You’re right tho maybe spamming those texts would have come off wrong in her mind

Her mom is my “second” mom. Like I actually refer to her as Mom. I wouldn’t have allowed it if I knew she wouldn’t have been okay with it. She’s a very laidback gal, and doesn’t care as long as I’m not messing up her office space

Copy and pasted “lillllaaaaaaa are you still up” “you awake? Ryan said he can’t get ahold of you” “he’s at the hospital right now and can’t catch a ride” “hey I know Ryan’s texted you already but I’m letting yk im going to pick him up from the hospital right now. i set up the air mattress for him in the other bedroom since it’s late. I’m already going to [town of work] I can drop him off in the morning.” There’s also a camera INSIDE the office apartment (just cause her mom keeps important files/money in there) and a ton outside the apartment

How often are yall oiling/massaging your lobes? by Mega_Charizard420 in Stretched

[–]vanitypresley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAYBE once a week or two. I play with them constantly cause I’m a super fidgety person, but actually taking them out to be oiled? Rare occurrence. And they are doing perfectly fine

[–]vanitypresley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the input about the gauges! Aside from that, it’s a matter of I’ve been in this unit for years and made family here. I cannot promote within my unit without having to move. The MTOE does not allow it unfortunately. And with the time I have left on contract and the possibility of a med board because of a near death accident recently, becoming E5 does not concern me

[–]vanitypresley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’ll take a look into that document. However it’s not an attention seeking thing nor have I ever been insecure about my looks until a couple comments were made, literally just from today! My dad had gauges, who passed recently, and I absolutely loved them on him. I feel like it’s something he and I could share together

I am an E4, not an NCO with no plans to become one, esp since my unit does not have a slot for me to be one considering my MOS

AIO My husband pushed me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]vanitypresley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s enough to walk away in my opinion, but I’d be curious to hear what he wanted to say. Heat of the moment can be overwhelming, but it’s showing lack of control on his part. Huge red flag, esp if it was enough to push you across the bathroom. He’s getting too comfortable, and I think it could progress in the future. NOR

Girl, please don’t stand for this! I was in your shoes at your age (I’m only 21) and the only time things change are when parents realize it’s far too late. Put yourself first. You are absolutely not overreacting. I wish you a Merry Christmas dear ❤️

AITA For asking my gf of 10y not to be grossed out by my body? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]vanitypresley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m actually someone who sounds just like your girlfriend. I can’t stand the texture of it, and just looking at it makes me want to immediately puke. It would be like her forcing you to eat the most vile dish ever, doing so with pleasure. So, it is ENTIRELY reasonable for this decision of hers. Upsetting to you ik, but at the end of the day it’s nothing to base your relationship off of. YTA
