basic is over.
one month into tech school. (kinda)
officially in the air force.
as i approach some of the hottest months in the second largest state in america, i cant believe so much has changed over the past year. a year ago i was contemplating going to college, and then that dream halted when i realized i was broke. so the next step was lets get into the military. and now im here. basic (boot camp) flew by, and i give credit to my two year mission for helping me out with that. it was demanding but all of the stress that the majority of the people feel while there because of home sickness or never been alone before didnt really bother me. the hours were very strenuous and i hardly had any sleep (which is still the case now) but i finished and i never have to go back to that. im really glad for that.
now im in tech school, well ... let me rephrase that... now im waiting for tech school. just another part of life in the military that i should be used to by now. theres different things i have to go through and obtain before i actually start my classes based on my job, and i guess i havent fulfilled some of those requirement. but thats fine. at least im getting paid. right? ha
im in one of the smallest places in texas, well thats what i think. im not really sure why they say everything is bigger in texas, because if you drive 6 miles in any direction out of this town and its all dessert. maybe they were meaning the land is just bigger. im staying at a base that could honestly be one of the smallest bases in the US. it doesnt even have a active flight line. but im not really complaining, i chose to do this and im actually doin it. while i wait for classes to start im someone you call a "casual". this person is more or less a janitor. so for the next several weeks, or months if im really lucky, ill be prepared to take on any task that involves a mop or a broom.
besides all of that im pretty happy at the progress i have put into this. i set out for something that alot of people didnt think was a good idea and i followed through with it. no matter if i stay in this for four or go all the way to twenty years, i still made it through something and i feel really accomplished for it.

Ouch!
wow its been a minute
(ok technically its been longer than a minute, but thats just the saying now-a-days i guess, but i dont get it)
so since my last update alot has changed, well change isnt the correct word, i guess i can something more along the lines of "growth"
first off, lets start with the fact that "the wait" is finally over! thats right! i have finally received my date for departure for basic training, march 1st, 2011.... ya i know, its less than 2 weeks away, but hey, at least im tellin you now, now the job that i booked for my "career" is being a network intelligence analyst, now instead of me explaining the whole thing ill have the experts do it and all you have to click is here, that should sum it up for you.
now also in the past months i have switched jobs. i was working as a valet attendant for sometime, but the place where i was switched some things around and i found myself looking for another job. it only took me a couple days,(i got wayyyyyy lucky) and i ended up finding a job at one of the new hotels off the strip called "la quinta inn & suites", im currently still working there, (for about 3 more days) as a shuttle driver and also working the front desk. i have been busy with this, also part of the reason i havent updated in sometime
i guess all the major holidays have come and gone, and now i find myself lookin back on how fast time flys by. it has almost been a year since ive been home from the mission and cant believe all the "growth" that has occurred over it. some good and some some harder times but to sum it all up im still loving life. its been a good year to think about who and what i want to become and im officially ready for this next journey in my life that im about to start. i am pretty sure forest gump had it right when he compared life to that box of chocolates, i guess its time for me to take my next piece.
