Hello,
I am 24 years old and have had some interesting twists and turns so far and I'm not sure where I'll end up next. I grew up mostly in PA but during my senior year in high school i decided to go to college in Alaska. My mom and I were fighting when I opened the atlas to Alaska and decided that was where I wanted to go. I loved every minute I was up north. During my senior year in college I got married, God only knows what possessed me to do that. Less than six months later we started our divorce paperwork. He was so convinced I would cheat on him while he was deployed he decided he would cheat on me first. Trust me I realize how dumb that sounds, somehow I don't think he ever saw the flaw in that reasoning.
Almost 2 years later I had my degree complete, took a break from school, and was considering colleges for my masters. I don't know what happend the last 4 months I was in Alaska. I think I went a little bit crazy. I joined the army. I left for basic training in July. Ft Leonardwood was hot as hell in July. Granted when I left AK it was a cool 40 degrees and landed in St Louis at 120 degrees and humid. I thought i was going to drop dead. I loved basic training, AIT sucked..but what can you expect when nearly all of your drill sergeants end up in federal prision. After AIT I was selected for additional training which for the most part I enjoyed.
During all of my training I met my current husband. He was my best friend in basic, while I loved the training there were days that he was just about all that kept me going. During AIT he proposed to me and after graduation and christmas we got married. I had to leave him to go back to Ft Leonardwood for my extra training. I got to spend 2 weeks with him in FL, he was in the reserves, before I had to report to Ft Hood. He was able to go active, which he wanted from the beginning, and join me in TX.
After I got to my new unit and began training I found out I was pregnant. I was much relieved that the problem I was having wasn't my ulcers but a baby instead. I am about to hit my one year mark and I have decided that I'm going to leave. I don't ever want to have to explain to my baby why both mommy and daddy are leaving for 2 years. Chris, my husband, wants to make the army his carreer. He loves it and I support him 100%. I think after my kids are in full time school I will go back, but as an officer this time. In the mean time I want to stay with my babbies and work on my masters and maybe my phd.
