I"m tryna join the Air National Guard! 50/50 shot!
9 years ago
Just gonna x-post from my faceobook :3
So some of you have heard me talk about this, and it"s never been a sure thing, but I figure since I"ve started pursuing it again, I may as well say it here.
I"m looking to join the Air National Guard and be in basic training before the year is out. I spoke with a recruiter on Monday, and as it stands, I"ve got a 50/50 shot of getting in. I have a documented history of ADHD and depression during my middle and highschool years, and that"s what"s keeping me from joining for sure.
Being in the military"s something that"s always appealed to me, and I figured I may as well chase a piece of the dream while I"m young and able. Right now I"m looking for various medical documents and transcripts and such for recruitment, but it"s a little difficult between two jobs and time spent at the gym.
If I get in, it"ll help me fulfill some various and miscellaneous notions of patriotism and self-validation, as well as help me further my automotive training. And if not, hey, at least I tried.
For those of you interested, I"ll keep you posted on what"s going on right here on Facebook as best I can. And if you"re the praying sort, I"d appreciate them, and if not, well wishes are appreciated all the same haha.
Wish me luck guys <3 Here"s to 50/50!
And that"s basically it! Outside of just letting everyone know what"s going on here in furryland, this means I"m gonna have to put writing on a hiatus for a little bit while I do the aforementioned document hunting and such.
And instead of Facebook, you guys can hit me up on MountainManJB!
<3 u fuzzy peeps, wish me luck!

It's also worth mentioning this is the -Air- National Guard, which is different from the regular National Guard under the Army. I'll be a small sub-branch of the Air Force!
Straight from my recruiter's mouth - 50/50 shot. I just have to provide documentation that I've been off meds, and I gotta get a letter from my primary care doctor stating my past mental afflictions don't affect me anymore. After that, cross my fingers and hope :B
They love that shit, republicans are trying to pull that as a scapegoat so they don't have to talk about second amendment rights.
I swear, if my gun collection suffers because of some WASP trying to curry favor I'm quitting the damn country.
