Officially Changed My Life

Hi world :)
I am now an American Soilder, A PFC ( Private First Class) in the U.S. Army. Im leaving on January 11th for 3 and a half years, getting 72,000 dollars for college when i get out, and getting to complete my first semester at EVC and continue on after bootcamp.. oh and wanna know the best part....my job is none other than a 92 yankee or in other words UNIT SUPPLY <3




This whole expiernce has been surreal like i cant even begin to explain this high im on today! I mean im getting everything i wanted and more. 72,000 dollars for collge, 2 grand paychecks, a house,food,health issurance,money, stabillity and i can still go to college while in the millitary! I mean dont get me wrong this wasnt the path i was supposed to take. Anyone who knows me knows that i want to become a teacher, thats im registered for 17 units for college and that essentially i want to go SDSU. Ive always wanted to the millitary ever since i was little. I used to put on my dads BDUs an walk around in them pretending i was one. As i got older and i was in JROTC i noticed that this could actually happen.But when your at a time of war fear takes over and you become ignorant and stubborn. By senior year i knew i wanted to be a teacher with all my heart. I still do. But there was always this little voice telling me to the millitary. i almost did the marines.. but my parents werent going to let me and i was lacking major motivation to a branch that needs more than 110% motivation. So i just continued on with the path i was supposed to take the 2 years at a CC and then 2 years at a state. One of my best friends took me to the army station once and i got to actually talk to the recruiters and they seemed like recruiters at first but then the more times i came they became almost like friends. I knew path already but i kept on coming to the station to chill, talk, hang out while being secretly intrested. I never wanted to really tell them cause i didnt think they would take me seriosuley untill Sgt lopez came into the office. Hes the one who really took me serious and made my fears of straying of my path look like just fears not reailty. I always thought that by me talking to him i was just doing it to say that at least i tried but when i told them to meet my dad i knew that this isnt just for my own satisfaction this is cause im serious about it. I mean my dads number 1 in my life and when you meet him you know your important in my life.So we all talked and then Sgt lopez told me to get rid of my fear and i said you dont understand if i stray off ill never be teacher and he said that somtimes straying off is for the best. Those words hit me so hard that i went to take the ASVAB. I remember telling myself that im only doing this for my dad, for sgt lopez and for me to see my score. But really i was playing fate by my hands. I said if i do good then its my fate if i do bad then im outta of there. Well i didnt do that great but i did get one thing that is too good to be true. I got Supply as one of my choices. I couldnt believe it! I couldnt believe that im getting a job that ive done for the last 3 years of my life. I was so happy. I told my family and told them that my mind was made up. Im going they signed my consent forms and i went to take my physical. That night at the hotel i couldnt sleep cause i was shocked i was doing this. I was shocked that this is what im going to be doing. Everything has been going so good for me i got my physical, got my dream job, gett to go for only 3 .5 years.. Its perfect. Im so happy..


I mean i know what it is to be proud of yourself. I thank karina,Sgt lopez and my dad for essentially guideing me to the path thats been there all along..

Im so exicted guys! I cant wait. Im going in there to be the best at what i do and im not leaving till i come out the best! January is a long time from now but trust me im going to be spending it studying army stuff and trying to become the best...


I am proud to of my decision and i cant wait to begin my life as an army soilder.
HOOAH =)
