<3

~finally an update~

ok here is an update about what is currently going on with my life:

Navy:

officer part:
so i took the ASTB test that i mentioned in my last post and i did pass, but i think that i did so by the skin of my teeth. i got a 43 on it and i dont think that score is the greatest but at least i did pass. i found out that i qualified for three jobs. 1. supply officer 2. surface warfare officer 3. aviation maintenance duty officer. the two that i am really leaning towards are 1 and 2 because i am not that much into maintenace stuff. so right n ow i am still trying to get down to my goal weight and to be able to pass the pt.

enlisted part:
so right now i am going to get into the enlisted part and also try to get into the officer program as well. if i do get accepted into the officer part i will just bypass everything for being enlisted and just go to ocs instead. anyways, i went to go talk to the recruiters on friday afternoon, because they had called and said that they wanted to set up some dates to get together to do some workouts. so i went over there and got that figured out. i start that in april.....so wish me luck....i am sure that i am going to get my butt kicked...but i think that it wil be worth it after it is all done. i also, got one of my friends from school to do the workouts with me. i think that it will be good for some moral support.

so while i was talking to them, i asked them about doing both enlisted and officer at the same time. and they said yeah you can do that, not a problem. chief l, told me about this since he does the recruiting for the officer side of things. so i figured that i would ask chief h about it to see what he had to say. well, they told me about it and then they asked if i wanted to go ahead and go to meps on monday (3/30) and tuesday (3/31) since they have someone going up there already and i said sure, since i have nothing goin on those days.
so what was suppose to be a quick visit to the recruiters office, turned into a two hour thing.

so we got all of the papaer work that needs to be done before going to meps which took forever! they ask you about pass medical history, if you have had any pass problems with the law, info about tattoos, and everything else that they could possible think of. so that took some time, but we got it done.

so on monday evening i will be going to st louis to get everything in place for meps on tuesday. i am going to be getting a nice 4 am wake up call that mornig and then after that all the fun stuff will take place. i will have to take an eye test, hearing test, and a physical test to make sure that everything is working right. so kind of wondering what all goes on with that part if it. after that i will be able to pick out my jobs that i would like to do, if i dont get into the officer program (but lets hope that doesnt happen!) and then i will swear in and be in dep (delayed entry program) which means i wont be able to go to bootcamp until next march/april of nesxt year.

so basically that is everything new that is going on in my life right now. so when i get back from stl i will update you all. so ttyl :)

Will I ever get to my goal???

this post is going to be nothing but complaining for a while since i don't have anyone else to complain to right at this moment!!
as you all know i am trying to get into the navy. but the only thing that is really stopping me...(ok maybe two things) is trying to lose the rest of my weight and meeting the pt requirements.

for some unknown reason i can not lose my last 10 pounds!! i can't seem to get over this hump!! i would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me what i could do to accomplish this goal.

my secind goal that i cant accomplish right now is meeting two of the three pt requirements! i can get the amount of sit ups that are required but i cant get the amount of push-ups and run the 1.5 mile in the correct time!

the whole push-up thing is going to kick my but!! i have such long arms that it seems like i have to actually go down a mile and then try to get back up!! plus i dont have that much upper body strength so that could be part of the problem as well!

and trying to run a 1.5 mile in 14 to 13 mins is not happening right now, but i think that to accomplish this goal shouldnt be too bad. i just have to keep running more than i have and i should get there.

but other than that, i am getting closer to trying to become an officer. i took my ASTB test last friday and i have to wait for my results until this friday the 20th. this is going to be the longest week of my life i think! i just hope that i did well enough to pass.

so thats about it for me complaining...thanks for listening and until later,

~officer info~

so, just wanted to update you on this whole navy thing that i am trying to do. i met with chief lyles who is a recruiter for officers (dont know if i said that correctly but you get the point, right?) so he told me a list of jobs that i am qualified for and they are:

* Supply Corps Officer
* Intelligence Officer
*Surface Warfare Officer
*Naval Aviation Officer

so now i have to decide on what three jobs that i want to try and apply for. i am thinking that i would like all of them except maybe the surface warfare one. but on the other hand i am not for sure if i want to be a pilot either.....a little scared about that one!

also, in two weeks on the 13th i will be taking the ASTB test to see if i can even qualify to even go in as an officer. so hopefully i will do pretty good in it and pass it.

well thats about it for now.....might do another post today later about my weekend in nashville.
