Changes
I made a call today that could possibly change my entire life forever. I called the Marines and let them know that I am interested in joining the military. I am now taking steps toward my future and it kinda scares me. Life is going to be flipped upside down once I graduate and unlike everyone else I know, I'm not scared. I am ready for a new beginning. My life so far has been controled by everyone else in my life. I think its about time I got to control my life. Sure if I join the service, Uncle Sam will be controling it but only one weekend a month. I'll still get to do the things I want to do as well as serving my country. Some people might think its crazy of me to join the reserves and not go into active duty, but there are things in my life that I want to do before I commit everything to one thing. I don't think I am quite ready to hand over my life to just one thing right now, but until then I am going to accept the changes that come my way.

Will your heart murmur affect that? Im proud of you! I sure wish I could do it. If not hey the Peace Corps are another great alternative!
I don't know if my murmur will or not but I sure hope not. I have a meeting with my recruiter on Monday and I'm really excited. If I can't do it then oh well at least I tried. Somethings aren't meant to happen if I can't do the military. I'll move on. Plus it will give me time to do all the other things I want. Heck you might see me in police training with you Mandie!
Bring it on!!! I would love that!!! To be a state trooper minimum age is 20 but hell you could be getting criminal justice degree in the mean time..... I hope you can get in!
Heck yeah! And plus I was going to major in criminal justice at A&M if I get in. Or minor in it at least. I hope I get into the service but if I don't, I have a fall back plan. So who knows, we might be cops together!!
Super cops!!! That will be us......
Well Staff Sgt. Grace (my recruiter) came by today and he said that if my cardiologist clears me, then I can be recruited. But otherwise I won't be good to go. But I am trying to not think about that factor right now. If its a no-go for the Marines, I think I might try out the Airforce. Dad says it would be better than the Marines. But that's just his deal. But if I can't do the military, you bet I be a cop with ya!
Honestly for the fact that you are a woman the best military option is the Airforce. They are awesome. What ever makes you happy is what is best. I love you sweetie. I hope it all works. I know when I couldnt go it secretly broke my heart. I will never be cleared due to my stupid ass injury. So I wish the best in it...
