Thread Resurrection: BLUF I'm starting UPT in a few weeks. SO's alcoholism is starting to take its toll, and I'm considering serving papers. Obviously it can/will be very difficult to have significant life distractions while chasing the dream. As I see it, I have a few options in no particular order:
1. Let the marriage, such that it is, ride another year till I'm complete and reap whatever will come of the added stress and distraction (plus pay out more of my retirement if I get there).
2. Fess up to my commander, end up on admin hold till this is done (it will get real messy, could take a long time)
3. Use the weeks I have left to work the touchy-feely shit to get the marriage back on track and worry about having to serve papers at some point before the graduation if we don't get there.
What do I do to guarantee UPT success?
