so Erin decided to do something good for herself.. and join the navy.
i dont want anyone talking me out of it. i've already decided. dad and i went to the recruiter today and they wanted to send me to jacksonville tomorrow morning for a 2 day stay with others to take my ASVAB again and get all my physical testing out of the way.. unfortunately i cant because i have to work both thursday's and fridays. and this friday is the last that they're doing it for this year due to holiday's and etc. so now im all set to go on January 6th and spend my 2 day's up there deciding what im going to be doing with my future. i think it'll be the law enforcement direction but in the navy instead of the sheriff's office or police department. it'll be way more beneficial for me in the long run.
so yeah, im so excited. and i've been thinking about this for a long time. i've already told a few friends and family members.. other not, for the sheer sake of either forgetting or assuming that they'd try and talk me out of it.. so it'd be best not to tell and let them know after i have everything sorted out.
now even though i scored rediculously high on the pretest that they had me take today.. (required to get into the navy, you have to get at least a 34.. i got a 76.) and they want me soo badly.. im going to let myself settle with it for a while and get to know the lingo and such and really take it all in. there's a lot to think about within this next year. one of the recruiters that was there today was asking me what they could do to get me up to jacksonville by tomorrow because they want me so badly. he was kinda being a dick about it.. but it was kinda expected... but anyways.
i really dont want to hear anything bad coming from any of my friends. so please just accept it and support me. kthanks.
im sure there's more.. but i'll write later.. maybe.. or not. we'll see.
finis.
