Unpopular Opinion: If the Military (in my case the Air Force) had wanted me to be married they could have just issued me with a partner...

@AirForce687 In brief, you don't want to live in the dystopian world in which the government decides who marries who

@Elessar why not, it would cut down on a lot of relationship drama i think.

@AirForce687 Read or watch the Handmaid's tale

@HeidiA
💯 he lived like a single man in our marriage, being away so much, being in the forces didn’t help. But most of his issues are from childhood.
Good lifestyle though, I’ll miss it.

@Fairydust Yes some bits never grow up do they. I spent about a decade of my life in the civvie works and didn’t like it. You’d think I’d be tired of living in a married quarter again, but it feels like I’m where I’m supposed to be.

@HeidiA I never lived on camp, I was meant to be moving to Cyprus for a post but never went in the end.

@Fairydust I managed to buy mine back in exchange for not touching her NHS pension and 45 grand. I was robbed but the judge was an absolute dick, so I was never going to get treated fairly.

@GeniUs
Mines going to a judge, see what happens, he won’t give me a clean break, even though I’m being very reasonable 😞 I’m hoping the judge see’s this.

@Fairydust Good luck.

@Nanori
Waifu why?!!!!

@Longpatrol you're gonna be moaning that name for the rest of your life

@Nanori I demand you change your name!

@AirForce687 Most people I know in the service when they are smiling it is talking about shit they got away with that should have got them tossed out. lol

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow One thing that did improve in the RAF during my time in Service was their attitude towards disability. Take my own case as an example: i joined at 17 as the only Reserve member with a disability in the entire Number One (Wales) Wing. By the time I was medically retired close to ten years later, there were six members with disabilities serving just on my Squadron alone, including not only the Squadron Warrant Officer but also the Commanding Officer's own son and daughter... in fact it became Wing policy to send all the disabled members to squadrons in the same area to make the paperwork easier...

@AirForce687 Cool. I was never able to get in because my disability was basically a fail on the medical. I have heard rumblings that is changing because they keep people injured in battle but not people who are less disabled because they were born a certain way. That seems to be slowly changing but I a 40 now and not a young guy who thinks they are indestructible.

@soar2newhighs My Squadron Commander wasn't even a full time active duty officer, he was Air Force Reserve and in civilian life he was a social worker...

@AirForce687 He seemed to hate same squadron relationships but condoned others. Not unusual for some people with power and rank. . Hopefully he never tried to force that.

@soar2newhighs he was not very high in rank, only the equivalent of a USAF Captain

@Dan193 i'm sure the Air Force has computer experts who could design a program to do that.
