A New Year. A New Chapter.

As I reflect on 2010, I wounder if I made the right choice to join the Navy. At the time it seemed right to me and still does. I keep telling my self that I will have to let it unfold in front of me as time goes on. I still believe it was and is the right choice for me and my family. I only hope that I will get the best from it. I resume school in two days to finish the last FIVE months of school, and also SIX months till i ship to Basic. I wish to give every one an late Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Can't wait to see what lies ahead of me. GO NAVY!

I am an US Navy saliors

Done. I am so happy to have signed the papers. Sorry Army, you got too complicated for me. So Navy I am here and yours. Went up on Tuesday November 9th for MEPS in Denver. Stayed in the Marriot Hotel in the Denver Tech center. Had a flat iron steak with french fries and chocolate cake. It was amazing. November 10th, proccessing for the Navy. Woke up at 0300. Ate at 0400. Left the hotel at 0430 to MEPS. Was in medical for forever. Then went to the Navy to begin the paper work. Then signed and sworn in late afternoon. I am a Information Systems Tech, and leaving in late June. I am so happy to have this done. Next, complete high school, hang out with friends and family, and then ship out to basic.

Almost there

Finally, the medical records are here. It's about time. Got my senior photo done. Looking at jobs for the Army. Narrowed it all done to five that I like: Computer System Repairer, Geospatial Engineer, Infantry, Wheeled Mechanic, & Calvary Scout. Having a hard time sorting out which one to do first. Also, looking at possible first duty station. Go to fly.  :)

Waiting, & waiting, & waiting, .....

How long does it take to make copies of a damn medical file. I have been waiting for weeks to get, no bloody phone call saying that we can pick it up, or it's on it's way. Nope, none of that has happen, and with out the medical file, I can't do a damn thing. I can't sign any paper work dealing with the Army, I can't do anything without the the damn medical file. It just makes me angry that  it has taken so damn long. And while I have been waiting, I have received my permit to drive, gotten the list of jobs I'm qualified for, and gotten ready for my senior photos. Hopefully mom will get a live person in medical records and give him/her an ear full.

Getting ready.

Hello,
My name is Jacob Wright. I am 17 years old and currently attending Wasson High School. This Coming July I will be signing on with the US Army. Decision for signing with the Army was easy and hard. My original plan was to go to college first, and then join the military. But as my mom and I was going through everything that I had on colleges that I liked, we saw that i would need to take out some loans. So set appointments with all the recruiters to sit down and talk with them. I asked my grandpa to join us because I wanted more than just my mom with me. The Navy was the best suit for me because we would some how have to get my ADHD waive. The Marines weren't even better, and no offence to the Marines reading this, but he more of a sales person than a recruiter. The Air Force wasn't even there. But when we were talking to the Army recruiter, he answered half of our questions with one blow. So after a day or two of possessing all of the information and receiving thoughts of the information from all family members, the best fit that I have deiced to go with the Army. Well, I must go. Farewell
