Well it has been...almost six months since my last post. The reason for this is I have exceptionally busy and actually do not have my Xbox at the moment. This is a long story that I don't feel like typing. Also between work and working out so I can enlist in the Air Force I haven't had as much time ANYWAYS. Does this mean I am closing this blog down...no. I am however not going to be able to talk about gaming as much as I want to so I am going to have to talk about other stuff. Other things I do that don’t involve video games (shocker trust me) like airsoft, my other interests and/or what I am up to.
I feel the need to explain the Air Force part, yes I was a college student but due to circumstances I cannot afford to attend college anymore at the moment. My area of interest in the Air Force is I want to be a tactical aircraft controller…sounds pretty cool right? It definitely caught my eye when I was looking through enlisted career options. For those that don’t know, the Air Force is VERY strict about weight. I am not fat…but I am over the weight that I need to be according to my height. At 69 inches tall I am suppose to be 186 pounds. I am pretty sure that for my body type that would be an unhealthy weight for me so I am going to be “taped” which means that they measure my neck, arms and other parts and use that to determine what my weight should ideally be. When I went in to the recruiter at about mid December I was about 228 pounds, currently I am close to 189 and it is mid May. I hope to get enlisted by next month.
Next my job, I am not going to say what it is…but suffice to say it’s not enough. Next week I am only on the schedule for one day and at that it’s only for three hours. I said on my application that I could work any day, every day and they only have me on one day for three hours? I enjoy working there so I don’t plan on quitting but I need to find a second job. I will still be around for the summer and am hoping to save up to go visit a close friend in July. Add to that they rising gas prices and the fact that I am going to have to start paying for things on my own…and it’s not too bright. Hopefully I will be able to do more for my blog soon…
