Life Update
So her is a long overdue update.
First on a funny note while trying to answer a call from stephie my cell blue screen of deathed me..it was interesting (the phone is fine).
The next progression. I have been active again with the local SCA group her and have been fighting heavy mostly. For awhile now in rapier i can't find my edge/focus, don't know why. The one night i did it was cause one of the guys up here took shots like Tim used to. That and he would call his shots on me and the one i didn't like or think was enough he tried to argue with me about it for the next couple of minutes. So I've decided to just do heavy for awhile, plus it will help with losing some weight. Sadly there isn't gonna be a practice for two weeks cause of everyone being at Pennsic.
Now for the more serious and looming circumstances. Currently I am starting to fall behind on my bills. The student loans mostly. I don't and can't make enough money here or anywhere unless I get a job in my field. So I am applying for everything under the sun and checking back on the AF civy job more tenaciously. If nothing pans out by the end of Aug. I am going in to talk with the AF recruiter again. From now till then I will be doing a diet(thanks Steph) and continuing to work out. Hopefully I will have lost enough weight to get my commission. if not then i will probably enlist.
There are several reason for this:
1. GI Bill to pay back on loans will get rid of several of my loans completely.
2. Signing bonus will eliminate debts and make huge dent in other loans.
3. Benefits: Health, Retirement, etc.
4. Military deferment on loans.
5. Steady and decent pay.
6. It was my main goal and i can continue my education later to further my degrees and probably at Naval PostGrad.
This isn't what a lot of people may have wanted for me or that it happened on my own terms, but i'm going to make things work cause they have to and I'm not in school anymore.
