Episode 01: Before The Storm (Part I "Proposed Beginnings")

Though a woman may claim to have a stronger mind than a man, and a man may claim to have a stronger body than a woman, both share a common weakness-- the need for one another.

Today is no different from any other day... that's what I feel right now, but in truth, today is the last day I will spend in this piece of heaven I call home. The cozy house that stands on the thin line between haunted and assaulted by spiders. I received word from the NCO, (Non-Commissioned Officer, my recruiter) The currently-titled "Mr. Nice guy", that I'd passed my GED test, making things only lighter on my shoulders. So far, I passed the GED, and ASVAB tests with a fairly-good standing (GED - High school diploma's equivalent, and the ASVAB is a standardized military test, used to narrow down the choices an applicant is allowed to take, based on what they are best able to do.). With things looking up so far, all I can do is hope I am shipped on time.

At any rate, this is where I will make my posts, hoping they will count for something in later months, or even years.

You say that this is the life of a 88H. I am confused because I read your blog and it said that you picked 88M. You have a picture of a truck that says 88H. 88M are the truck drivers. 88H load them.

This is true. I was originally going to be an 88M, but due to a drastic, last minute change in paperwork and slots available for AIT, I was switched over to 88H, just never had a chance to change the image. As you can probably tell, I was able to change the site name though, but I didn't bother moving the truck because of the time it would take to make the image look correct, as well as the fact that we also do the 88M's job, among most other 88-series MOS'

Thanks anyway though, I'll see if I can find some time to change it!
