Too Many Late Nights...
Somedays I really wish I didn't function on 5 hours of sleep. I mean, here I am, again, sitting at the computer and its after midnight. And what's worse is that there's really no reason for me to still be awake, sitting here. Seriously, it accomplishes nothing and I'm not doing anything more then waiting for someone to be online worth talking to.
So what am I doing here? Other then talking to myself, just getting down on "paper" what's been going on of late. First off, I'm moving again. Woohoo. It'll be the 6th time since my senior year in HS, i.e. just over 3 years. I'm becoming some kind of transient, a real wanderer. At least it's a peaceful one this time around. No fighting, no hurt feelings. My god there's actually some kind of choice in the matter this time. It's a little weird. :p
Anyway, so there's that, and then there's my standing backup plan. Plan... well, it's like Plan K or so, maybe M would be more appropriate. That is to say, me joining some for of the military. I've been kicking it around in my mind for so long and now I'm finally bringing it up into the light of day. Hell, I even went to see a recruiter for the National Guard and took the trial entry test. I got an 85. I actually feel bad for only doing that well. I mean, if I took it out of HS, I KNOW I would've scored higher especially since I learned all the things covered in the test. At least I remembered how to FOIL correctly...
So here I sit and consider my options. At this point, I've read the synapses for pretty much every MOS the National Guard offers out of the box to chicks, and my first instinct is to balk at the fact I'm automatically ruled out because I'm a chick for some gigs. I mean, I understand why, but at the same time I've spent entirely too much time proving people who think like that wrong. At least I don't have some kind of death wish. XP Of course, that said, I'd still like something that keeps me active, keeps me busy. You know, some tinge of excitement. Granted that sounds stupid, but there it is.
What I'm looking at is being an MP (31B) or perhaps a 68W, which is basically a medic, but really I'm leaning towards MP. It's interesting the feedback I've been getting too. One person says do it, another says they're all wanna-bes, the next says infantry and MPs don't mix, someone else says F**k the Navy. Those people are the enlisted guys I know. Even got encouraged by twerpy girly MP to do so. All that's aside from what I've read up on on the subject. Hmph... Actually, I think typing this did it's job. So I'm going back to being enigmatic and I'll leave this for now. Byeeee!!
