I'm not really sure why but it happened. One day I said to my wife I was thinking of joining the army --thinking she'd say no--she said go for it. And here I am.
I ship out on 20201006 which is only a few days away. My basic training and job training together consists of 26 weeks. Both will be at Ft. Sill which is in Lawton Oklahoma. Luckily, they'll let me come home for 2 weeks around Christmas. I'll leave an update on how it's going then.
The job I got is 14g or air defence battle management operator. From what I've read I'll basically stare at a computer screen all day unless I'm stuck in the field.
Listening to bands like Rise Against is probably going to feel weird now. I've never been an overly patriotic person and definitely not a supporter of wars. It was actually a big surprise to my family when I told them what I was doing. My mom wasn't happy at all when she found out.
Wish me luck. int signing off for now.
