To take or to not take the test?

Well really, when.

If you were eager to join the foreign service and take the FSOT for the first time, when would you do it based on recent pools of those admitted?

2028 under a new administration? 2030? Does timing even matter?

Heading towards divorce

I don’t know if our marriage is going to survive the duty station. It sucks. It feels like living in a Third World country. So that makes everything harder, especially with kids. But he’s so obsessed with his job and chooses his work over us all the time. I don’t see how this behavior is going to change and I don’t see how we’re going to make it to your 20. His priorities are the Military, his job, his colleagues and the people he interacts with. The kids and I are not at the top of the list anymore. I don’t know if i can do this until retirement. I deserve so much better.

He was so much more normal before he joined. Such a better human.

Abdominal lipo - so puffy

I got abdominal liposuction one month ago and I feel like my midsection is so puffy. I thought the liposuction would help me lean out, but I feel like I look exactly the same. If not Fuller around my middle as before.

I see others who post one month postop photos and they look super lean. My doctor said to wait a few months, so how do other people have instant results but mine will take several months?
