Thread: When would I find out my PDS?

My mother, father, step-mom, and sister live here in town. Her parents just recently moved to Atlanta and her siblings are in the military or are married to someone in the military (all branches too except CG). Which is also what makes this whole situation more stressful that she is acting like this.

But I won't consider it our money until she stops all her unnecessary spending like eating out every day.

Use to, when we got our bonuses at work, I'd give my wife half. I'd put a big chunk of my half on the mortgage and some on toys (my Harley) while she'd go buying organic groceries and taking her dog up to the vet for "extras".
I'm sure she thinks of my bike as some waste of money, but I *know* the dog is going to die.

Yeah, but remember you won't be making beans as a Private, PFC, or LCpl. You'll be lucky to own a well-used car.
But all of this speculation is moot until you get through boot camp, MCT, and MOS school. Worry about those, and in that order. Tell the wife to live with family, get a job, and start saving money now.

I can see this one playing out now. PFC checking into his new duty station driving his new mustang GT with payments of $800 a month. Between the car payment and the wife taking the rest of the money you'll do 1 of 2 things check in without a hair cut because you cant afford it or check in with your head shaved. I swear most PFC's drive nicer cars than I do. Or different scenario, your Sgt gets a call in the middle of the night to come rescue you because your wife is chasing you around the yard with a knife.

I personally will go with the latter. I already have an OK car and would never buy a stang anyways. Lol

Ha I'm 1141 Marine Electrician I head off to MOS school in a couple days...this probably won't help much but I was told I could be stationed stateside, on a MEU, or over in theater. But get through boot camp first earn the title don't worry about something that may not be 100% sure thing.
