The Decision: Part 3

I recently thought about some things that I just thought that relates to my version of "The Decision", so here goes.

First things first, I do have my ship-out date for my faithful readers. It's Nov 29, 2011.

My literal first reaction was, "Finally, I'm going to be out of here soon!" and I was really excited. I can't wait to "take my talents to" Lackland AFB or San Antonio Texas, and join the United States Air Force.

Then after talking with some people, I realized that November wasn't as far away as I had originally thought, it's actually 3 months away according to this blog. Most reactions I got were pretty much what I expected. I got a lot of sad responses, some good responses, a couple of mad responses for some odd reason, but all of them were happy for me, and wished me luck. So if you're reading this, and you wished me luck, thank you!

After a while, another thought popped into my head. The thought that " I wont be going to school at the same time anymore". For about 19 years of my life, I have always went to school in August/September, and that hasn't changed..until this year. 

Normally around this time, I'd be talking with my friends about this upcoming school year. Things like what classes we got, what new things we were going to try out as far as student activities, the "New" more "Study Harder" versions of ourselves, which we end up sometimes not doing. We'd also be talkin about how much our books cost this semester, or how boring or great our summer was. It'd just be like any other school year.

But like I said before, not this year.

This year, I'm joining the Air Force, meaning I won't be going to school like everyone else. Instead I'll be training, working out, attending DEP Commander Calls, all up to the day in which I leave, while everyone else is heading to school, and doing all of that school stuff.

Is it weird? Hell yeah. Will I ever go to school again? Yeah I will once basic training is done and over with. 

I'll still get that "college experience" but it'd be a really different experience, Air Force style. I heard it aint too bad, just gotta focus, and do what you're supposed to do. Either way, I'll get my degree one way or another.

In the meantime, all I can do is just be patient. These months will fly by quickly and training will be done, and I'll be back in school once again. Maybe it's a good thing that I don't start school normally this year, who knows. 

We'll see the end result once it comes around. I'm ready for whatever comes my way.
