So I graduated
Well, yesterday I gradated from AIT. It was a very nice accomplishment, and it was a much better than gradating from high school. That's for damn sure. I think people should have the option of going to high school for 4 years, or joining the army for 4 years. The army would make people a man much better than whatever high school does for you. It is rather depressing though, everyone I know and care about seems to have left me this morning. My room mate is gone, all my friends are now perament party going home and visiting their families. There was not very many people who went to gradation, the farthest traveled parents came from Anaheim California which is about an 8 hour drive. It would of been nice to have family go to my gradation. It feels like I did so much, and I am so proud of what I've done, but didn't have anyone to share it with. If I had to choose if my parents came to this gradation, or my airborne gradation I would have to say I'd rather have them go to my airborne gradation.
In one of the speeched that was given by the highest ranked 33W on post, he talked about the attrition rate of the school. My job has the highest among all of the military intelligence fields, we have the second longest job training in all of the armed forces, only to be proceeded by linguist which isn't actually a full MOS, it is a MOS that you must have a second MOS for. Anyway, it wasn't an easy task but I did it. 47 college credits, TM certification, Windows certification and an MOS is what I got to show for it. I got a 3.29 GPA from college too, which is pretty nice. All A's and B's Once they get my last college class, it should raise a little bit.
I am treated a lot different now, than what I was a year ago. I'm an actual human now, almost lived a civilian life this week. Went out drinking and partied with my class mates last night, did as I pleased today with no formations, no PT no nothing today. I do not have to have a battle buddy to go into the Drill Sergeant office, I am allowed to do PT on my own because I have a 270+ PT score, just like people in the real army get. It should stay like this until I go to Airborne. That's the only reason I don't wanna go to Airborne school just yet. That, and I still haven't given up on Nichole, even though I should have like 10 times over. I think I've faced the fact I'm not going to get with Cortney, Katie, or even Jacqueline ever again. I need to get them out of my mind, and move on. Should almost put Nichole on that list, because she doesn't want me, but I love her so damn much it's hard to do. Whatever happens happens, I'll be leaving here soon enough. Samantha has got a boyfriend, so she's out of the question now too. I was thinking of going and visiting her, but not anymore. Love is just something I can and probably never will have. I guess if I actually plan on going Special Forces, and make it, then it will be nice that I never got with anyone.
