So if I have the TOL before my 31st birthday in August, I am good?
PUBNAT 5- Announcement ending 7/31

Yes, a TOL freezes your age for the hiring requirement.

Hopefully we get that far by August. I'm not assuming we get geo pref emails until April or May. That may be pessimistic somewhat, but after waiting this long, I've learned to just sit back and occupy my time with other things.

Seems like they're picking up the pace compared to what it used to be a year or so ago. I'd say you'll be at a PEPC before August. But that is just a guess on my part.

Hey, I would love to have the PEPC before August. But since there is no definitive timeline (or even an approximate timeline) I'm going about like it's not coming anytime soon. I'm graduating in May and getting married in August, so I'll be getting the best job I can, all the while hoping this works out.

You may be the 783rd person to tell me this. If I get to 800, I might have to seriously reconsider this whole thing....
I live with 4 single guys at this point, and I can honestly say, I'm not really missing the single life. Way more effort than I was willing to keep putting forward. But being wingman is a bitch.......

It easy for me to say run....so....if you do go through with it (DON'T) then I would suggest a couple things:
1. Try to get a late shift at the airport or one that is opposite of hers. Ever hear "absence makes the heart grow fonder"? Too much time spent together will drive you both nuts!
2. Make sure you have two bathrooms. One for you and one for her. Explanation not needed here.
3. Let her have the bedroom. Let that be her place to decorate and make her own. DO NOT PUT A TV IN THERE!
4. Set your calendar reminders for "that time of the month" and stay at the other end of the house or go stay with a friend. (these moments get worse with marriage)
If i think of any other tips i will let you know.

OR...
1. Congrats on the soon to be nuptials!
2. Have an awesome time together and remember how you felt the day you proposed!
3. There will be times when it gets hard and you will question if it was right. Then you think back to that day you proposed and the day you got married and realize you love that person more than anything and you are willing to work it out! Nothing worthwhile comes with ease...you have to work at it.
4. Don't miss a day of telling each other, "I love you" and as long as you are in the same state/city, never go a day without a kiss!
5. When you fight, if both of you will have the mentality that it is your fault, not his/hers...the fight ends a lot quicker and happier. The blaming game sucks and doesn't work.
6. Marriage advise comes by the boat loads and you will get the good and bad...ignore all others...listen to mine
Oh but the cycle date stuff- ya...keep track of that!

Obviously a woman...... thats ok though, nobody is perfect. Aside from my advice to run I think the rest of it is perfectly legitimate! Oh, one to add to her sappy list:OR...

7. Do not let an argument last past one day. Make amends before you fall asleep otherwise it will continue on and on and on and on until next month's special week.

Wow, this thread just got a lot more interesting.
I'm getting married this summer too (in July), and I wouldn't be opposed to things "speeding up compared to last year," but I haven't seen any evidence of that idea so far.

by the way.....I label my monthly calendar alert email as "hell week". Be careful not to let her see this as it may lead to an early death.

Speaking of marriage.....how does training work in O.C.? Do we have to share a room with others? I am just wondering if we can have conjugal visits. Had to get back on thread topic somehow.....

Umm...what do you mean O.C. as in OKC or Orange County?
Training in OKC is just living in OKC, going to work (which is more like going to school) and studying. I am here living with my husband...he is the one in training. There are not "no sex" rules like you get with Secret Service or whatever when you are in training (and yes, the Secret Service does have a no sex rule and training where no family can come and visit for 3 months...that is the reason my husband walked away from it).sixthman20

I must say I love all the tips. I'm now both excited AND terrified. Appreciate it... hahaha. But to somehow relate this all back to something tied into the thread, I was worried for a short time that I might somehow be in OKC whent he wedding was coming up and was worried that it would somehow be an issue. But after experiencing this waiting process, I can officially say I'm not worried in the least. Might have to worry for the first anniversary though....

Sorry OKC.....Umm...what do you mean O.C. as in OKC or Orange County?
Did you two live there before? I live in Florida and I am assuming that I would be going to that facility in OKC. I guess I was also assuming they had some type of dorm for us to stay in during training.

There is basically just a bunch of local day/week/month rate hotels/dorms. You get to pick.
