Random Blogging...September 23

I'm in the Army, now! I swore in yesterday, and I'm officially in, now! Also, I will say that the Army personnel offered me with more than any of the Air Force recruiters ever did. Boy, I should mention how I went from months planning of being in the Air Force to immediately switching to the Army.

I believe it was exactly two weeks ago...to note, I'm not in the best of energy to write near-perfectly...so, there will some breaks and pausing with my tone. Already, I was stressed out with work. One -- things happened at work and my boss might be fired in six months. Two -- I had to retake the ASVAB since the Air Force considered my score low (I don't like tests, enough). Last, I decided to "escape" from my job to become a flight attendant. Anyway, I spotted an Army personnel and asked for a cigarette. He responded, "If you join the Army." Initially, I took it as a joke. I told him my situations, and he said he would help me find another job...faster. He also offered to help me get my Illinois driver's license since I haven't been driving for around five years and my paternal Chicago relatives would be of no help. From that point and more cigarettes later, I aborted everything: the Air Force, thoughts of becoming a flight attendant...everything.

I'm making plans to resign from AirServ Corporation and flight to St. Louis for a few weeks, in December. To end this, at the MEPS, they gave me an Army-themed backpack, with a shirt, stickers, a magazine, and a book on tips for workouts and basic training. I'm gonna be well off, now!
