Well, bit of both. My basic training for the Army National Guard.

And not too bad then, just hate the down feeling overall, eh?

I see... Your schedule is quite hectic... Army National Guard? Is that voluntary or some sort of requirement?

Alpha · Posted 05-31-2012, 01:27 AM

It's voluntary. It's like enlisting for Active Service in the Army, but you work for the state *lives in US* instead of the Nation as a whole. Basically after all my training is finished I will be serving one weekend a month and two weeks a year up until I graduate from college and pursue a commission in the Active Armed Forces (namely the Army, not so big on the other branches of the US military, but that's just me).

I see... You really want to be a member of the army... It's a noble thing to do, to be able to serve the country, well in your case, serve your state...

Yeah, it's just the environment and the brotherhood is something that I thrive in and love. It's like nothing else. And for now, it will be the state. Once I get a commission for Active Duty as an officer hopefully after graduating college I will be released from my current contract and signed on a new one reporting within the structure of the Nation's Military.

wow! then that means you will be far from Tiva for a certain time?

Alpha · Posted 05-31-2012, 01:43 AM

Well, for the three months or so of officer training, some. She can visit though on weekends. Also, she and I have talked about it, and she says that when it comes to moving for my assignments she wants to move with me. Only time she and I would absolutely be apart would be whenever I deployed overseas. One thing I could do to limit that though would be to request an assignment in South Korea, Japan, or one of a few other places in the Asia/Pacific region. That, or possibly over in Europe.

Honestly though, being apart from Tiva is the hardest part of any training or assignment I have or would have. I can take the yelling, the physical exertion, the heat, long days, etc.

She keeps you sane of course, she's you fiance after all... You both can get through it... Wish you both the best...

By the way, I have to go now... I have an appointment in an hour and I still need to prepare...

Alpha · Posted 05-31-2012, 11:20 AM

That she does. She and I are planning that by that point she and I will be married. Thanks for the wishes.

Hope the appointment goes/went well.
