Mind is made up...

Things to do before fall of next year:

(*) Be able to do at least do 40 sit ups within a minute.
(*) Be able to run a mile within 10 minutes. (to you guys, it'd be easy, but for me... It's not... I have weak knees and my ankles are really bad. This is a challenge for me... If I can beat 10 minutes, I will be soooo goddamn happy.)
(*) Be able to do 10 chin ups/pull ups within 2 minutes. (doesn't sound much but I have horrible upper body endurance)
(*) Be able to do roughly 50 regular push ups within 5 minutes. (100 if it's girly push ups) Need to AIM for 50 within 3 minutes...
(*) Take the ASVAB
(*) Lose 50lbs
(*) Make a list of reasons WHY I want to
(*) Make a list of questions to ask a recruiter.
(*) Get my grandparents' approval. (I already have my parents' approval and they support me although they hate the idea of it.)
(*) Graduate GTC with my programming diploma and save up as much as possible to at least get me a decent form of RELIABLE transportation whether it's bike or car or a fucking moped.
(*) Sell some of my manga/books. (hello, torrents and Internet. Plus, I'm too busy to read anymore)
(*) Make a shitload of cat-hats to sell. (knit base and crochet accent)
(*) Most importantly ... ... Learn how to swim.

*sighs* I hope I can make it... If you guys have no idea why I'm doing this, don't worry too much. It's something that I've been thinking about doing since I graduated high school. I've just been too out of shape and too damn chicken. To those who have an idea, kudos if you can figure out which branch.

To those who are against it and don't want to support my decision, that's fine. I'm not asking for support. I'm going to do what I have been wanting to do but have been a fucking coward about. Whether you support me or not won't change my decision.

    You're joining the Navy. Good for you. I support you 100%. I tried the Army myself, but got denied for Color-vision deficiencies. Their loss, I suppose. I hope you go through with your plan and commit yourself to it because its a chapter in your life that you can only reasonably take advantage of when your young. Make sure you read the contract extremely well and don't feel pressured to sign it. Any time the recruiter gave me something to sign, I'd sit down and read it over 2 or 3 times to make sure I'm not getting myself into something I didn't want. Keep in mind that there are a lot of ways to get extra money for your Sign-In bonus, so go over it with your recruiter. If you can time yourself right, Sign-in when High school is in session. During Summer break, after all the seniors Graduate and are getting kicked out of Mom's and Dad's house, the sign-in bonus decreases due to supply and demand laws.
    Take care and stay safe,
