I'm ready to go

I'm just up and ready to get moving. I want to get the training over with I know it will be a hard several months on both Meredith and I but once its over it over. We can settle down, well at least as settled as a military family can be, and get things on track have a financially stable life. Once I'm in I'll start working on getting a four year degree so I can become a commissioned officer and possibly fly if I qualify. The Air Force has their own community college that I'm automatically enrolled in once I start basic training. And my tech school and basic training count as credits towards a degree. I can also test out of up to 30 credit hours by taking the CLEP tests. If I can do that I can probably have the first year and a half to two years taken care of in less than a year and if I can finish up the last two years at another college I can have my four year in two to three years and as soon as that happens I can start working toward getting a commissioned officer position which comes with a much better pay and I higher cap. so I'm just ready to get out of here I'm tired of being around the house doing nothing and I can't really go outside because it's to cold most of the time like today I wanted to go running but I woke up and it's 16 degree's outside and that cold of weather is just not good on your lungs when you breath it in. I think I might go out in the car and track a 3-5 mile route to run so I can get used to running and help me to lose a few pounds so I can have an easier time staying under my max weight. So this is a bit annoying never in my life have I ever had to watch my weight and now I have to because the Air Force has a specific height to weight requirement and my max weight I can be is 191 and I'm 186. 5lbs is kind of easy to gain in a few days and so I have to watch myself and make sure I don't go over that weight because if I do I don't get to ship and it’s just a bit annoying.
