But now comes the really difficult part...transition to a new career field. It's going to be hard and frustrating, but I'm determined to find something else to do.
Happy birthday to me!
I'm glad to be out of the Army, but I would still like to get a tattoo commemorating my time in - it was a significant time in my life. I can't decide on a design, though - nothing overly patriotic or anything. I'm leaning towards getting a dog tag (or two) on my upper arm with stuff like my name, service (Army) and dates...

I've been thinking about growing a beard, just to see how it looks on me...any opinions?
(@radical I already know yours lol)
...but most people tell me I look like I’m still in my early 20s. Someone even told me once I looked like a teen. I count that as a win, I guess. Small victories.
I've been shot at, rocketed, mortared, fried (Kuwait and the Mojave Desert), and frozen (Afghanistan in the winter).
But let me tell you...nothing compares to cold, wet feet. It's by far the worst.
I registered to take the Foreign Service Officer Test for the State Department in June. It shouldn't be too hard - I hope. At least not after this graduate program. I wonder if it's similar to the FBI test (which I've taken before).
Well, at least one firm didn’t reject me right away. But I’m sure the department they redirected me to will reject me shortly. Lmao.
Just have to keep trying! Also, I completely f-ed up my final project for one of my classes. I hope my teacher is in a generous mood.
I wonder if I can still field strip an M-16 rifle. Probably, it's like riding a bike...you never forget it once you've been taught to do it lol
I saw a really cute beagle today. I should get a dog. It's boring and lonely living alone.
