Waiting...waiting...waiting...

The worst part about waiting for something is knowing inevitably it will happen..but until it does your kept on tenterhooks.

So as mentioned in my previous post I am joining the Army. It's a massive life change for me, I am used to working in offices, or even shops but never outside on a battle field... I am looking forward to the challenge.

I spoke to my parents about it for the first time recently, I want to join as a dog handler so I told them straight I would be in front of the infantry soldiers sniffing out IED's of which you can imagine my parents weren't please at all. Yes it is scary as hell but at the end of the day I love thrills and love it when my adrenaline is pumping. And this is what it gives me.

So in approximately 8-12 months I could be blogging from the front line in Afghan (you get 20 mins a day online!). I can tell you this that it really can't come soon enough.

I used to think that the army was all about getting muddy and yelled at, and yes whilst that is part of it the other part is fighting for the other soldiers who are stood beside you, and who over time become your friends.

I look forward to this new challenge. I look forward to the life changing events that will unfold before my eyes, and I look forward to meeting new friends. (hopefully none have seen me on here otherwise it might end up being a bit weird first time cos they have seen me naked haha!)
