Undesignated & Unhappy
My husband dropped out of BUD/s and now he's an undesignated seaman. I moved to San Diego after he got his orders to his ship to be with him, but now the undesignated life has negatively impacted his attitude. He talks about how everyone on his ship is lazy, he tells me the mean things he says to others on the ship, and I feel like he's taking it home with him and not being very considerate/nice to me.
I 110% supported his decision to join the Navy and try to be a SEAL, but that didn't work out. Even after he dropped, he said it was probably for the best since we just got married. I understand that this is not the most ideal situation and it's very hard to do something that you don't want to do. At the same time I picked up and left everything behind for him and feel like I'm not getting any emotional support from him. It's hard being someplace new and feeling so dependent upon one person.
I have no family or friends in San Diego. No one really to talk to and it hurts to feel like I'm being taken for granted and not getting the same consideration in return for my own sacrifices. We haven't been married long and he's only been in for a year so we are still learning and growing. This is really taking a toll on me.
My husband is a dominant/confident male, so he's not the most emotional person and talking to him about this isn't the easiest thing. Does anyone have any advice?

He said "most of the time"! Advancement for the OS rate in general for a SEMAN to E4 is a "Fast" rate to advance compared to other rates. And from being in this situation, in the begining few months, FLTRIDE does not give more than a few rates such as OS, CS, MM, BM, and if they are the lucky few, QM. Ask other undes or BUD/s drops, they will tell you the same. Job choice sucks when you are a drop or undes no matter what your ASVAB score is this is the truth, like it or not.
