And so it goes with the military... things can never go completely smooth. What would the road of life be without a few bumps? EASIER, THAT'S WHAT! I have been working on this Officer Training deal since last August. I have explained the detail of it all in previous entries so there is no need to go and explain it all again. However, now there seems to be a 'snag' in some of my paperwork. And the dreaded term, 'waiver' has been uttered. *shudder* *shake*
While my accessions officer seems to think everything 'should' be ok, I can't help but worry a bit. The reason for needing the waiver not being of grave importance to this entry, the stress of suddenly not knowing what the future holds IS the point. I have been selected, I have been commissioned, I have sold my house, my stock options, and purchased over a thousand dollars in uniforms that have been altered already and can't be returned. Now, like we are discussing the weather, I am informed of this 'snag'. A 'snag' that could very well put the ki-bosh on my enchalada. This, my friends, is stress.
Perhaps you will pardon me for a moment while I go meditate my blood pressure back into a safe range.... ooooohmmm oooooohmmm.
Thank you.
One thing is certain, when I was told of the 'snag' I realized just how much I want this. I have altered my mindset completely. I have changed career directions. Going full speed ahead...into a brick wall. Sans airbags.
Now, I must do the hurry-up-and-wait-dance again for at least a week for some answers, and hopefully, providing the granting of the dreaded waiver, my orders.
