08/09 USAF BMT. Sigh.

I called my recruiter yesterday morning to talk to her about the situation and she told me that there wasn't anything she can do because no one wanted to swap jobs with me and there were no spots for me for the jobs that I could get because they were all filled. I asked if there was a spot for July and she told me that July is filled and has been filled by people from two~three months ago so she believes that I might get something for August, latest is September.



It really bothered me that I have to wait that long now because I was ready to leave in June and now I have to wait another three to four months to leave? It really bothers me because I've made such amazing friends that leave on June and I've made close connections with those who leave on 0619 too...

But I can't really be too upset because it was something that was not my recruiter's problem or mine. It was the people at MEPS and the Investigation Bureau that messed up my stuff and still gave me the job. My friend's father spoke to my recruiter about it as well and we both think that she's genuine and really wanted me to leave.

Sometime in the conversation she asked me, "Are... You still looking into getting into the Air Force?" and I told her, "Of course I am. I don't have doubts in joining the Air Force, this is where I want to be... I'm just a little bummed out that I can't leave on June like I planned." and she even knows my situation so she was really wanting me to leave as well.

However, everything happens for a reason. My Elders think that it may be because I have to meet someone, help someone or just do something here in Riverside before I leave and my friend Glenn thinks that the job that I booked was not the job that will let me shine to my full potential so God is giving me another opportunity to get a better job and is testing my faith, patience and endurance. But whatever it is, I can do it. Whatever the reason, I'll deal with it and move forward.

At least I'm still on DEP, at least I'll get a ship date and at least I can write to everyone that's leaving. Especially Dex. <3

Upset,
Otter

PS: I feel like Dexter and I would make a cute couple. I actually hope that we end up together <3
