Hi 
I was lucky to get the 2nd job I applied for when I moved down here earlier this year. Shockingly a job that I love AND pays decent! Hopefully you have the same luck

Well congrats on serving your country, then getting the hell out of the military. I have at least three relatives wanting to join up behind me and another three already in. I am sure your sister will be fine, and also make a fine soilder. You have been in long enough to give her some sisterly wisdom about the military do's and don'ts.

Nice, your sisters are funny as hell. Have fun
I can't believe that I am about to say this, but I am going to miss this stupid rock of an island. I will miss the Army, this island and the people here. Now I won't miss everything about those three things, but I will miss some of it. I'm sure the fact that I have developed quite the crush on a guy doesn't help...

I got out of the Army in 2007 and it was a difficult adjustment but don't let anyone fill your head with nonsense. Some people do get out and love rejoining the civilian lifestyle, some people get out and choose to reenlist. You'll blaze your own path and I'm sure you will rock the fuck out of it! Good luck girl!
lorybeth:
Thank you NiKo!! Yeah I doubt I could even come back in (or stay in if I had wanted to) because my shoulder is really messed up. I didn't join the Army straight out of high school so I know what the "real world" is like. I'm just crazy excited!
Well it's getting closer and closer to my time to fly off of this rock. I can't wait!!! April 3rd is the big day! I'm a little worried though because the military flight I am taking lands in Seattle at 1120, I then will have to get my bags, go through customs then recheck in for my flight to Houston (then to KC) at 01:45....needless...

So....I want to go dancing. There are no good clubs here, not to mention that my unit was just put on restriction so I can't stay out past midnight. I suppose I should feel like Cinderella, instead I just feel like a child. But mmmm.....I just want to go lose myself in the music

Well, had to X the Cali plans. After doing a bit of research turns out the new GI Bill won't cover all of the costs of out of state tuition. So now it's looking like I"m heading back to Kansas. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I was excited to go to Cali, but at the same time I was really nervous about...

Well I am about to head to the hospital to get shoulder surgery. I'm pretty damn nervous. The only thing I've ever had even close to surgery was getting my wisdom teeth out, and that was not fun. I have to stay in the hospital overnight I'm not looking forward to only having one arm for the next month or so. Not to mention it's...

Sweetie, I hate to say it, but for most of us that's what every day is like. The best you can do is make a decision that feels right at the time, and if it stops feeling right, change it. Above all else, do what is best for you.

On 13 Dec 2006 my mom died. Everybody says that you're supposed to move on, or tells me that I'm strong. But everyday I think about her. Sometimes it's about how bad of a daughter I was to her before she died, or how much I wish she was here, or wondering what she would say to me if I could talk to her again,...

Aww im very moved by this blog. My mum died nearly 4 years ago, i feel lots of guilt. She was sick for quite a few years and i always look back and think i wish i had done this and this. We were told when she was likely 2 die in the next couple of days and that i should say goodbye 2 her, but i just couldnt do it. I told myself she prob wouldnt know anyway, as she had a brain tumor and didnt know how i was sometimes and stuff. But i do really regret it and wonder if she did realise. As bad as u feel try not 2 feel like ur alone, they r people out there who have gone throu similar things. Im so sorry for ur loss
lorybeth:
Thank you all. I wish I knew all of you IRL so we could meet up for coffee or drinks
I just came here to your page in hopes that you were still active on this site. I had read a post by you in the SG hair group that you were thinking abt going to cosmetology school, AND! That you were also in the army, which is something I'm considering. I dont know a single freakin female who has been in any of the armed forces to ask them questions, so if you dont mind me picking your brain ... I would really love to
