Road Trip

So, as some of you know, Ben and I are taking a road trip across the country to Ft. Benning. Ben has to report there on the 7th of September. We are going to leave on the 3rd and stop at a few places along the way. Our major stops include Las Cruces, Austin, New Orleans (if it ain't underwater), and then Ft. Benning. I was trying to think of cool things to do in each state we travel through.

So, I am taking any ideas. Drinking is kind of out because of the whole driving thing. And no Mariana I will not sleep with Ben in each state. I am really excited about the trip and I will try to fill you in along the way if I get Internet. If not, I will post our experience when I get back.

And, if any of you have cool places that we should stop and see along the way, let us know too.

Warrior

The National Guard just put out another promotional video like "Citizen Soldier." This one is called "Warrior" by Kid Rock. The video has both Kid Rock and Dale Earnhardt Dr. I thought it was cool because some of my candidates were involved in the filming. Check out the video at the link below.

Quick Update

So, I haven't posted anything in awhile so I thought I would give everyone a quick update on my new developments.

This last week I got notice that the National Guard Medical Board approved my transfer from aviation to medical service. What the means is I only have one more step until I am able to go to my officer training in Texas. I just have to wait for the Cal Guard send in my Federal Recognition packet and I'm in for sure. This should be done around early to mid September. So... I could be leaving for Texas as soon as late September or early October.

As my medical recruiter said, "almost there, downward slope." I am just excited to have the opportunity to get some training.

In other news, turned the big 24. (I think most everyone who reads this knows already) I just can't believe I am almost at my quarter life crisis.

Also, looks like due to budget issues, I may not be continuing my job as a recruiter for the National Guard. So, if I don't take off to training in October, I should be looking for a job. Anyone want to hire me...wink...wink.

Well, hope everyone is doing great and I'm sure I will bump into you soon.
