Military leave
« on: October 10, 2008, 02:46:54 PM »
As I may have mentioned to some of you every now and then over the past couple of months, I am pursuing a military career. Well, nothing definite yet of course, but today I received a phone call and have a lengthy six-hour interview next thursday to discuss my application, go through the medical screening and physical, etc. Figured I would start this thread to be able to keep tabs on my situation, and update it as necessary.

If all goes well, I may be shipping out sooner than expected, but we'll see. =)

It took entirely too long, but I finally cut through the red tape. lol

I did get the trade I wanted, which was Weapons Technician. I ship out for basic on March 7th and start on the 9th, and begin the four month grind at that point. As for me, I have a week left to enjoy sleeping in, having a beard, and not be run ragged everyday. But it an experience that I am really looking forward to. I am not sure when exactly I will be able to rp or visit the boards again after I leave, but I hope that I will be able to once I finish basic and move on to MOC (Military Occupational Course) training for my trade. Maybe around August or September.

I will miss you all when I leave, but I will also look forward to when I will be able to return to camp again and see you all again.

keep your head together.  don't fall for the games.... do not let anyone send you looking for 50 ft of gig line.  or sound powered phone batteries... good luck. fair winds and following seas and welcome to the forever fraternity....
