Most army soldiers don’t really care. It’s your life. Only thing where is could cause an issue is fitness standards and which side they are supposed to obey.

I don't mind it but like the above said what fitness standard do they take?

Don’t like. Too close of contact with people

Well most of my senior enlisted soldiers don’t have anything to say about it, I’m assuming they don’t like it. I don’t really mind it all but my unit hasn’t had a trans individual. So we have never to had to deal with a situation that involves a trans person.

Hmm. I don't mind. I mean if they can do the job properly then there should be no problem at all.

Hi! We have 2 trans in our area. Believe me when I tell you that they have the guts of a real man.

Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

What type of food do you all feed your fur babies? I have a very picky eater, and doesn’t like hard food/treats. He’s at an ideal weight, and I’ve been making homemade food to mix in with his kibble, but not sure if that’s the best thing to do for his nutrition. I’ve tried wetting his food to make it softer, but he won’t touch it. Not sure if I should look into premade human grade food or continue making my own. Or using something else for his kibble. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks :)

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
