I promised to keep all of you posted on my progress in the Guard. Well I will be shipping to basic training in 15 days. Yes, I am scared but it's just because I have to be away from home and my daughter. I'm actually more sad than scared. I'm going to miss my daughters 2nd birth day and my birthday for that matter. Not really my idea of a good time to spend your 22nd in AIT. At least I hope I'll be in AIT as opposed to Basic. My grandmother is upset with the fact my MOS is a combat MP...She want's me to change my MOS to something that doesn't put me right in the middle of the hot spots...I told her I wanted to fly helicopters...that didn't set well either. My argument was I woluldn't be in the middle of it I would be abouve it. I don't think she found it very funny. I'm bursting with excitement and I can't wait until I go but at the same time I'm just not sure about all of this. I know it's going to be tough but I wouldn't be doing it if it was easy. I need chalenges in my life and I feel the need to push myself beyond my normal limits to see what I'm made of and what I can truly accomplish when I put everything into it. I'll try to keep you all up to date the best I can so enjoy and wish me luck. Love you all ~Destiney~
