Hello my fellow Georgians. I just wanted to get on here to say that I am less than 48 hours from leaving for Jacksonville, NC. After a week of being at Camp Lejeune for CRC, I will be on a plane headed for Afghanistan.
At first I was ready and anxious to go. Then, reality set in, and I got the job. A few weeks have gone by and I've been thinking over my decision. Unsure of the outcome. I know I'll be safe under the protection of the armed forces (namely Army and Marines) but it still was a daunting idea. Then, I began to hear stories from fellow co-workers. While, I'm still a little nervous, I'm more anxious to get done, get back, and tell stories of my own. It's weird because I know service men and women who are out there for more than a year at a time and are actually on the front lines in very real danger. I'll be situated comfortably on base for a major portion of the time.
In either case, my Mazda community, I will be pretty much non-existant for the coming year. I'm sorry if I've made previous commitments in the past that require me now but this is huge and it's a large step towards financial freedom. I'm sad to note that when I return home in a year, I will be selling my MSP. I love her but it's just time for me to move on and get something with a little more pizazz, a little more sizzle. I'll still venture here often.
Wish me luck. Pray for me (if you do in fact pray). I'll need all the prayers I can get. Take care you guys (and gals). I'll be thinking about ya!
