I’m thinking about getting my bachelor’s in cybersecurity from WGU, and one of my long-term goals is to become an Air Force officer. I know WGU is regionally accredited, but I was wondering if anyone here has actually commissioned, or knows someone who has, with a WGU degree.
Does the Air Force treat a WGU bachelor’s the same as any other accredited bachelor’s when applying for OTS? Or does it put you at a disadvantage compared to a traditional university?
I’d especially like to hear from anyone who has gone through the process or worked with officer recruiters.

I’m thinking about getting my bachelor’s in cybersecurity from WGU, but I’m not in the military. I see WGU recommended all the time, but a lot of the people talking about it seem to have military experience or already work in IT.
If I get my cybersecurity degree from WGU and land a couple of internships while I’m in school, is that enough to be competitive for cybersecurity jobs? Or do employers see WGU differently than a traditional university?
I’d really like to hear from people who graduated from WGU’s cybersecurity program and got hired without military experience. What was your experience like?

I’m getting pretty frustrated with my recruiter. I’ve already finished the ASVAB score 80 and MEPS so I finally have everything needed for my waivers (minor waivers). The problem is she takes forever to respond. She’ll disappear for a while, send one reply, then disappear again. It just feels like nothing’s moving. I’m ready to get this process going and get sworn in as soon as possible, but it honestly doesn’t feel like there’s any urgency on her end. Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do?

i’ve been talking to this guy for about 2 months and things got serious really fast. like he was already talking about wanting a future with me, marriage, kids, basically forever type stuff. i do care about him but i’m also still figuring out how i feel because this whole thing moved quickly and i already have trust issues from past relationships.

we went to one of his family events and before we went, he was debating whether to introduce me as his friend or girlfriend since I made it clear we are not exclusive yet. i asked him how many girls/exes had met his family before because i was trying to gauge if it was even that serious to be introduced that way. he told me only one ex had met them.

but then when i met his family, some of them acted like they recognized me or had met me before. the thing is, i look a LOT like one of his other exes. like people have literally confused me with her before many times. so that made me feel like he wasn’t being honest about whether she had met his family too.

then later we had another conversation that bothered me more. He mentioned he got tested before (it was relative to the conversation we were having) i asked if he got tested after the last person he was intimate with. he hesitated and said yes, but i could tell something was off. then when i asked when that was, the timeline didn’t match what he had told me before. he previously said the last time he slept with someone was a year ago, but then the testing timeline was “in 2024”, which would’ve been before that.

so now i feel like he lied about who met his family, when he was last intimate with someone, and whether he got tested after that person.

and honestly, that feels like a lot for only 2 months in. Like damn.

i know some people might think i’m nitpicking or overthinking, but honesty is huge for me, especially with sexual health stuff. that’s not really something i feel like you should be vague or weird about.

there was also a random comment he made while we were watching Interstellar that rubbed me the wrong way. there was a scene where brand was emotional over love and he said something like “this is why girls shouldn’t be president.” which threw me off completely because he’s ALWAYS presented himself as a feminist. i didn’t say anything, but that definitely stuck with me.

i acted normal after all of this because i think i was still processing it, but now i feel like the trust already feels damaged and we’re barely even at the beginning. i care about him and i don’t think he’s a bad person, but i’m wondering if this is just setting the tone for how things would be.

i’m leaning toward ending it romantically but maybe still leaving room for friendship because we have the same mutuals. i just don’t know if i’m being dramatic or if these are actually fair things to not want to move past.

I’m seeing this guy and we’re not officially dating yet, but we’re doing relationship-type things and it feels like it’s heading that way. I really like him a lot, but I’m struggling with something kind of awkward.

He has long hair right now and I’ve tried to look past it, but I’m honestly way more attracted to him when his hair is pulled back, under a hat, or when I see old videos of him with shorter hair. He was showing me old videos recently where his hair was short and curly, and that’s when it really clicked for me that I like that look on him a lot more.

I don’t want to come off shallow or controlling, especially because it’s his hair and he does like it long. But physical attraction matters, and this is starting to affect things for me more than I want to admit.

He’s asked me before if I wanted him to cut his hair and I panicked and said no but i like short curls because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings. Now I kind of regret not being more honest.

Would it be weird to bring this up over text? I feel like texting might help me say it more carefully instead of panicking in person. How would you word it in a way that’s honest but not mean or pressuring?
