I'm a Sailor! Yay!

It's official now: I'm a Sailor!

I swore in today (Tuesday, January 29th, 2008).

I didn't quite get the job I was expecting, but I'm certainly not disappointed. I'm an AC (Air Traffic Controller), and the job seems right up my alley. If I really like it, there's definitely a career ahead of me. Everyone I've spoken to tells me that ACs are paid well and treated well, and there are plenty of openings at bases around the US.

In the military, I'll be spending my time on both shore bases and Air Craft Carriers. I'll have opportunity to be stationed overseas if I wish, as well. My "A" school is in Florida, and I'll be there during the otherwise cold winter months.

I wasn't expecting to do such a job as this, but I'm impressed with how God orchestrated everything. I'm not disappointed, I'm excited! Sure, I'm scared to death of Boot Camp (which starts in September), but I'll get through it.

While I'm preparing for Boot Camp, I'm working on advancing in rank before I even get there. (Anything to get the name "Seaman" out of my title. lol) One thing I'm working on is getting four people to join, listing me as their referrer. So, if you're reading this blog and are thinking you might want to join the Navy, make sure you contact me and let me refer you. I'd appreciate it. Besides, I'm always up for a chat. I just went through the process of choosing a branch and getting in, so I could probably offer some helpful advice.

How to Contact Me

For my personal contact information (phone, address, etc.) please e-mail me and tell me your name and how you know me. I'll be sure to grant you access to my Contact Info site.



If you have any trouble getting in, or have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.



Can'y wait to hear from you!

Introduction

Welcome to my blog! What you'll find here is the personal journal of some girl in America. Yeah, I'm sure that sounds pretty boring, but perhaps you'll dig a little deeper and see that there's more to this girl that meets the eye. I hope that my crazy life and (mis)adventures will, if nothing else, give you a laugh or two.

When I first considered blogging I wasn't so sure about it. I wanted to, but I just didn't think I had anything to write about. But eventually I realized that my life is interesting, and someone somewhere just may get a kick out of this Hobbit-girl from America.

The main purpose of this blog is to post my personal opinions and thoughts online and to keep in touch with friends and family back home... wherever life takes me. And who knows where that might be. Right not I'm planning on enlisting in the US Navy and then later attending the New York Film Academy. After that, only God knows...

So, once again, welcome! Enjoy! Who knows what could happen in the next half-hour...
