I just got news yesterday that I've been medically cleared to join the Air National Guard. I've been trying to get over for 6 months and nothing but paperwork was holding me up. I've been in the Air Force for 10 years already (5.5 AD, 4.5 Reserves) but I've been stationed in California the entire time. I'll finally be stationed in AZ and won't have to leave every month and lose time with my son.
It's a breath of fresh air having something good happen as I've been feeling pretty lonely lately with my wife wanting a divorce and her taking time with my son away in the name of "a strict sleep schedule" for him. It's been a rough 4 months. I haven't felt loved in a long time. I mean my son is not even 2 yet so his concept of love is not crying when I give him fruit snacks. I love him like crazy though. He really does keep me going every day. I'll be honest though I just miss having someone to lay her head in my lap while we watch a movie or spooning while we go to bed and being able to run my hand up and down her curves. I miss being intimate with someone and feeling that connection. Maybe it'll happen in the future but I just don't see it happening anytime soon. Oh well maybe the guard will bring me a new outlook.
