Lotion: Im going to suggest you ease up on the lotion and try treating your dry skin internally. Take vitamin E. Once every other day and see how it feels after a week. If its still dry then try daily. But im thinking that just 2-3 vitamin e pills spread over a week will help it.

Deoderant: Dont worry about the wet/dark spots. Us girls dont care about a guy sweating… its the smell that can be unbearable.

Shampoo: im having the same problem and am currently hunting for something the the same thing u r.

Eyebrows: They look fine … maybe just a little bit of plucking at the arch's bottom. Use a little bit of vaseline over each brow and this helps you seperate the hairs u want to pluck to lesson the chance of errors.

Teeth: cant seem them too well in the pic but if u want more whitening use the strips. The whitening is supposed to help but doesn't for everyone. Also make sure to get your dental visits in to clean. Your dentist usually doesn't lie so ask them. Also make sure you use the electric toothbrushes as they get so much more than manual brushes. (the circular is better than the back and forth kind)

LEG HAIR: No dont shave ever. It only makes it come back thicker and stronger. Just stop working about the leg hair and it really is more manly to have than not to have and us girls dont mind it at all.

Pubes: Just trim it. Doesn't have to be way short in fact too short is uncomfy for us and for u. Epil stop is a good thing for hair in the entire area including azz but it can be painfull if you are not careful so be VERY CAREFUL.

Booty: Believe it or not just regular baby wipes do well for this and its also a good thing to have after sex. You dont have to be embarrassed buying them in the store cause only you care what your getting and your manly enough that when buying baby wipes anyone see you is going to think you have a baby at home

Face Care: Try neutragena deep poor cleanser (its an amber gel) first. If that is too drying then try the lotion for of the same.

Also for a little added freshness powder your ass…. it feels good especially when ur hairy there. And if you get those lil spots on your ass use rubbing alcohol on them.

Ok good luck

1) Change your resume. You do not have to give a reason for leaving your job. Right now you are shooting yourself in the foot with "Reason for Leaving: Received a better job opportunity at TLC Rock. " That tells anyone who is thinking about hiring you that you will dump them the minute something better comes along.

2) I'd rephrase the "still currently maintain these as side jobs". That implies that you will miss work in order to handle the buisness you have on the side. I'd drop that line entirely.

3) As a vet I hate to say this, but I think your Army service is hurting you. Some people will be scared by the mention of weapons. A lot of your Military skills dont' translate into the civilian sector. When you talk about Bradley's make sure to mention that you were responsible for a piece of equpiment that was worth upteen million dollars. Make sure to use that word RESPONSIBLE in there. Cav Scouts have a lot of responsibility, relaying information to the commander in a fast, accurate and dependable fashon, etc.

Lastly though, and I hate to say this, what is killing you is the fact that nobody wants to hire a National Guardsman these days. Employers will look at the resume and say "If I hire this guy, he is just going to be deployed in six months, and then I'll be stuck having to train a temporary replacement… who I will have to fire as soon as this guy comes back from Iraq, and then I will have to train this guy all over again."

I don't know a way around that one. I spent close to three years as a REMF, and when I got out I resigned my comission, simply because I felt that nobody in their right mind would hire me as long as I was liable to get recalled at any time. When I did my resume I put in ALL CAPS under my military service NOT LIABLE TO BE RECALLED OR REACTIVATED.

Since you have a wife and baby to support, you might want to consider getting a job with the Guard. Talk to your Unit Administrator. When I was out of a job my U/A got me a temporary tour helping out at the unit processing travel vouchers and such. Work the system, see if you can be a referee for an exercise, or help run an ROTC advance camp over the summer or something like that. These sorts of jobs are easier to get if you are on the Federal side of the reserves than the State, (The Federal IRR is designed for just such deals) but you should start talking to people and work the bureaucracy. You might be able to find a job with the Guard down on the border doing counter drug work, or border patrol. As an alternative see if you can go to a school. As a Cav Scout you have some knowledge of Intell… see if you can get reclassed into an Intel specialty (they normally needed more Intell people than they had when I was in). That would get you some time at Fort Huachuca, and make you more marketable in both the military and civilian job markets. (Google "Intelligence Careers . com")

Good luck.

(1) *** You MUST wash EVERYTHING (baby's clothes, your clothes, sheets and blankets, towels and wash cloths etc.) with mild detergent…I use Tide free or All free but any one should do as long as it is mild, free of dyes and fragrances. This is important because the baby comes into contact with your clothes, sheets etc.

(2) I use a baby blanket where ever I lay her and whenever I hold her in my arms to minimize contact. She sleeps with me and I have a certain area of the bed that is designated for her and I don't lay in that area.

(3) *** I bathe her daily while she has a flare up (there is a new study released suggesting this and I know this from experience)

(4) I use the same soap on her that I use for myself and that's Dove sensitive skin but I don't use it on her face or her hair (learned this in a breastfeeding class).

(5) I use the Aveeno Baby my doc suggested on her hair.

(6) *** When it is really bad and her crevices are raw I take a mixture of half water half vinegar (I use white distilled but organic Apple Cider is good too) and once I'm done bathing her I go over her raw areas with the vinegar mixture (it may or may not sting a little, my baby has no reaction to it) and then I go back over her with just water. You can do this for about 1 or 2 days consecutively (this is a quick fix and will heal the skin so that its not so raw and oozing….I know this from my own experience). If you don't feel comfy with the vinegar you can also use cornstarch on his crevices and you rub it on like baby powder…works like a charm!

(7) *** When she comes out the bath I pat her dry and let the air finish the rest then I moisturize her with the Aquaphor my doc suggested (it has the consistency of petroleum jelly) and I moisturize her once or twice during the day.

(8) I would also suggest that you use mild "eczema-friendly" products on your skin as well considering the baby comes into contact with your skin….Lubriderm is good.

(9) I don't know if you breastfeed but I do and I've heard that rubbing breast milk over her will heal it….gonna try that too.

(10) Also, if you are breastfeeding avoid dairy (this flares it up).

This is what I do and it works like a charm…my daughter's eczema goes away about a wk or less after it flares up.

I know this seems like a lot but trust me it will become second nature once u get into the habit of it and when you see the results it will all be worth it.

Hope I helped…good luck!
