I stumbled upon the service just looking for something to do with my life, and I was undisciplined and lacked any motivation to do anything. The military gave me a purpose and taught me about hardship and discipline; I'll always be grateful for that.

Has anyone brought on a nanny they used from bright horizons full time? We want to fully employ one of the people we had through them, and the College Nannies agency (contracted through Bright Horizons) is saying we need to pay $1500 in order to do that?

Has anyone heard of this? This seems a little egregious. Is there a way to get around it?

Resort recommendations in Aruba for a couple?

I really don’t understand “leaders” that don’t take care of their team. In this environment where jobs are plentiful and a team can make or break your agency why treat your team like

Do you enjoy your weekend?

why does it feels so wrong to take sick leave when you are like, sick?

Haven’t heard back since my final interview 10 days ago. Followed up with the recruiter 7 days after the interview and recruiter said haven’t heard anything yet. Does it usually take this long for the hiring team to communicate to the recruiter? Is my chance very slim now? Thank you!

This might not be possible, but I would like to know how I would go about getting paperwork about my late grandfather who served in the Navy during WWII. Does anyone know how or even if I could do this?

I was always the captain's favorite because I was the first to follow an order, never questioned, and never hesitated. That made me an outstanding soldier but not a very good leader, I don't know what to do if I'm not receiving orders.

Does anyone else feel like they have become too utilitarian and objective?

There's one thing that differentiates the American soldiers from others, and it's our love for our country. Agree?

How does one decide to take risks and apply for news job when the state of the economy and the world is ever changing. We know salaries are going up, but employers struggle doling out the cash. Is it better to stick where you are or jump into something new?

The feeling of avoiding mines buried on the gorund is one I carry at all times, and I remember the fear and the anxiety at every step. I still feel like this today, like every decision I make will lead to disaster.

Has someone ever questioned your decision to join the military? I always argue about it with my father. He believes you must be a little crazy to join the forces and withstand the things you see while deployed. I always tell him he must be crazy too for being a dentist. Why would you want to put your hands inside someone's mouth all day?

How have you maintained your mental stability while serving?

If anyone here is wondering how to best use their GI Bill... I HIGHLY recommend using the GI Bill comparison tool. Has anyone else here used it??

Looking back... We were all very lonely during deployment. How did you cope with it?

I'm a little over the weight limit for serving in the Air Force but it's my dream, so I would appreciate any advice on how to lose weight quickly

Are there any incentives to being in the military beyond veteran benefits?

On the last days of deployment, my whole squad chatted about what they would do when they came back. I never felt so anxious as I didn't have anything planned. I joined the army at 19, and never worked at anything else. That was three years ago and I'm still trying to find another career, any advice?

Don't ever forget you're still a human being, so treat yourself as one! What are some things you do to clear your mind?

I feel like I haven't seen the results of our efforts. The Middle East is still a mess. There's a war in Europe we won't take part in. Does anyone else feel this way?

Do you think the military life harder for people with ADHD or does the highly structured environment help with the symptoms?

It just feels so good to enjoy a quiet moment with your friends after a day in the field, the feeling of companionship can be felt even through the silence. I'll never forget those moments.
