Its been sticking on my mind for sometime now and I'm still deciding whether I should do it or not. I've been thinking about joining the Navy for 2 years now. I never really got around getting information about signing up, bonus, retirement, or any specifics. My best friend Robert did join the Navy and I had the opportunity to have a friend with me all the time if I joined also but I declined. I wasn't ready to make that big of a decision so soon.
Slowly though, I've been thinking about it more and more. The main reason is I obviously cannot be in the Navy and live in Colorado Springs. What would I do?; guard the lake at Memorial Park with a tugboat? There were people and things giving me a lot of reason to stay but one by one, those reasons are disappearing. I don't have any constant friends anymore. Somebody that I would hang out or talk to once a week. I had friends like that but not anymore. Now they are becoming people I see randomly or if there is a big event like DDR tournaments. Even I don't see my family that often even though we all live under the same roof.
Believe it or not, I'm going to impulse it. I'm actually going to let somebody else decide without letting them know it. If that person moves to California then I'm joining the Navy, end of story.
