This is a hard lesson, but at some point you've got to break away and do something on your own and learn how to fix it yourself and not rely on other people.
That's not to say you won't mess up, and you won't ever need someone to bail you out again, but you can't learn to walk without learning to crawl. And you can't learn to be an adult without leaving that safe protective covering your parents keep over you.
I've been struggling with this too, and it's one of my reasons for going into service. This is the first decision I've made completely on my own, and the first time I've really stood up and done something that I truly thought was the best thing for me.
yeah I know. I just wish I could experience way more than I have already. I just feel so under-prepared. oh and when do you leave for basic? did the recruiter tell you or is it a surprise? lol.
Yeah they are just gonna show up one morning at my house "SURPRISE! Time for Basic!"
Umm actually they've got to figure out if I'm too fat to go in. I've got to be 194 pounds (and I'm about 65 pounds off) or only have 26% body fat. So we'll see. But I definitely want to make the rounds around Christmas and see everyone I can, cause some folks (such as Amanda H and Alex) I probably won't see again before I leave for it.
