Got into the military after trying for 4 years!!!

Wow its been a whole process. Had to get off meds for 2 years. done. had to lose weight. lost 50 lbs and im in the best shape of my life. then my husband and i got into a drunken fight and got cops called, domestic violence charge (nobody touched anybody). took 4 months to clear it off my record...

its been a dream of mine for a long time. i want to finish my bachelors and make some bread. they gave me a 30k bonus starting off 2 ranks ahead of everybody else.

yall might hate on the military but the day i swore in was one of the happiest days of my life. im excited to excel at my job, travel, go to school, and just get my life back on track.

i can pretty much max out all of the requirements for navy bootcamp and i havent even left yet. i leave may 11th. i am beyond excited. i cried the whole way home in my car of just pure feelings of victory. this is something ive had my heart set on for a long time and its been a long battle to make it in.

im so thankful that God gave me this opportunity and that I never gave up. i want to earn a degree in nutrition and then reenlist as an office in nutrition. hope everyone has a blessed Friday!
