2~3 More Days.

Guess what? I have two more days until the hotel and three more days until I fly to Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas.

Otter's Leaving A Day Early.

I just finished my DEP CC today and I spoke to my recruiter about the issue that Michelle (a girl from the October group) brought up about October 30th LA-DEP's leaving to the hotel on the 28th and leaving for Lackland on the 29th. I brought it up to my recruiter and she wasn't told such BUT looked in the system and found out to be true.

We played a really fun game called "Story" (I think that's what it's called) and it's pretty fun. You have a group of people in a circle and one person starts off. This is how it goes.

First person to start the game: Once...
Second person in line: Once there...
Third person in line: Once there was...

And it goes around the circle until someone messes up.

So for example:

First person to start the game: Once...
Second person in line: Once there...
Third person in line: Once there was...
Fourth person in line: Once there was a...
Fifth person in line: Once there was a dog who.

If someone messed up on a word or adds two words, you're out. LOL. Or continues without saying the rest of the sentence.

SO, we had a few when we started the sentence like "Cool" the person was suppose to say "Cool Story" but just said "Story". HAHAHAHAHA. XD

OH, and PS: I lost three pounds. YAY! (Thanks to the Insanity workout)

Also, we meshed with two new recruiters and we're adding 25 new DEP'rs on our team. SO, yeah. Now we're about 45 people. And we had one guy, Jonathan, cancel and got his DEP place terminated. That sucks because I had dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and saw him working... I thought he was going to join but he volunteered to terminate it because he missed three DEP CC's in a row which is an AUTOMATIC disqualification but he knew it and terminated himself. Whatevs.

Life's Changing. HOLY CRAP.

I'm not on this as much as I want to be. I'm sorry.

If some of you haven't noticed, I'm leaving in three weeks and four days (25 days) and when I talk to my friends about it, some of them mention that I don't seem excited to leave like the others and honestly, I'm not. I'm not excited because I left all my excitement back in June - When I was ORIGINALLY suppose to leave - and so right now, I'm left being anxious and nervous.

I'm slightly jealous over some people that I was suppose to leave with have their first duty stations while I'm still here, just barely leaving for BMT... I'm not discouraged at all though, I'm happy for them and I know everyone has different paths in life... I suppose mine was postponed and there is possibly a reason why I'm still here.

Four More Weeks.

Four more weeks until I leave for the United States Air Force BMT (Basic Military Training).

So many emotions are interacting all at once and I don't know how to deal. But I'm sorry that I haven't been posting as much as I want to. I'll try and get it all out there before I leave though.

Just thinking about it makes me nervous and when I'm nervous, I got to go poop... Real bad. Sigh.

But I'll surely miss you, Turtle. I know I'm not leaving YET but I just want to put that out there so you know right now. :)

Soon-to-be-trainee,
Otter

DG and Dex.

DG left for Utah without telling me. How did I find out? Via Facebook/Instagram shizz. He did a solo road trip out to Utah. WOW, THANKS FOR NOT TELLING ME YOU JERKFACE. I'm a little upset because we were suppose to have lunch before he left and he was suppose to give me my shoes back. :( but he left suddenly because he got two job interviews at a hotel and Wells Fargo. And since he's going to school there in September in BYU, he might as well leave now? Plus, he said he didn't feel like he "belong" in California but, whatevs. I'm a little upset but I'll see him again eventually.

Yesterday none of my June Bug BMT buddies told me that a Tinychat-ooVoo night was going down and I found out when I got home. And then Rorosa gave me the link to join and I ended up joining and Dex was on it. But I didn't put on my audio or video yet because I was trying to set it up, plus I kind of wanted to be a creeper for a bit. So, I just joined the chat and instead of using my name, I used my username (the one I use for everything) and then I heard Dex freak out. He was like, "Otter's on! Otter's on! Or is it someone just f*cking with me? Otter?! OTTER?!" <33333333333333333333333

TEEHEE Dex,
Otter

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.

Bleh, Sorry Friends!

Sorry, I've been MIA a little bit... I've been a little slow to post up blogs on this page.

To be honest, I haven't been feeling like myself. I've been emotional lately.

I know that I'm leaving soon so I'm not motivated to do anything like working out or planning awesome events because I'm leaving soon, you know? I just don't want to "party" because it will remind me of "hey, you have to party hard because you're leaving soon!" and it makes me sad. Because I've made so many friendships with so many people and I love the people I go to Institute with and to know that I'm leaving them in four weeks makes me really sad. :(

BMT Husbands/Wives

BMT? Husband? Wives? Yes. Weird, but yes.

Apparently people that are leaving in June (like me) made up this couple pairing for BMT.

Chris Carpe, Taryn Lauer
Val Elizabeth, John Maddy
Jasmine Williams, KJay Davis
Ronell Rosa, Brittany Ritchey
Cody Mattson, Brittney Fabian
Kevin Salsbury, Generra Gonzalez
Otter Pop, Dexter Lopez
Kailin Barbour, JD Trotter
Victoria Vargas, Chris Mike
Matt Leymaster, Christine Johnson

TAADAA! So, I'm BMT-married. The conversations are weird. We'll talk about nutella, to boobs to zombies to heartbreaks to war and all that weird stuff. And it's funny because for a time, Dexter and Chris Mike were fighting over me because the both of them wanted to marry me. Sadly, I'm a one-man person so I stuck with Dexter. My new Hawaiian love. LOLOLOL. But Chris Mike is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

I'll show you when I get back home, Turtle.

But there's a new guy, Brandon Johnson, MMMMMMMMM GUUUUUUUUUUURL, FINE ASS MAN. <3

Anyway, BRB. Gotta teach at the Institute! :)

Woot woot,
Otter

Cute guys, PT and Movies.

OHMYGAWD, TURTLE! IF YOU MOVE TO THE STATES, YOU HAVE TO TELL ME ASAP! BECAUSE THEN I'LL GET THE NEXT FLIGHT TO COME SEE YOU! If I get stationed in New York, you can come and stay with me and we can watch musicals together! And there is a lot of good places that I know in New York that we can do to! AND MAYBE WHEN I HAVE THE TIME, WE CAN DO A ROADTRIP! THERE'S A LOT OF COOL STUFF HERE IN THE UNITED STATES! sa;ljfdjfkdlsjksjdkfj;sdkfds, I feel like a kid in a theme park! BUT YOU MUST TELL ME. And I can visit you during the holidays (if that's okay with your parents) lol. skdjflksdjfjsdlskd, SO COOL! I'm so stoked even though nothing happened yet! LOL!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, I just got back from PT. FREAKIN' SUCKS TODAY. I woke up at 7am and I found out that it's raining like crazy and the wind is just an abomination. So I texted Ssgt. Fears and asked if we still had PT. And she said, "Yes." Like, not even a 'yes' with a smiley. It's a straight up, in your face, with a period, 'yes'. So I go to the office and I find out that it's her replacement. Some girl who got back from her training and Tech School and is now doing her RAP (recruiters assistant program) duty. Sigh.

However, I woke up at 7:20am and I was out of the house, in the car and on my way at 7:30am. I didn't eat anything and I just drank two gulps of water. And then we did our push ups, sit ups and warm ups outside while it was drizzling (it slowed down by the time I reached the office) and then we had to run a mile and a half, but this time, we were timed! And since I wasn't feeling well because I had this stomach ache since yesterday, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to do well but I pressed on! I ran and my time was 18 minutes for a mile and a half. WHICH IS BALLS. I usually can make it in time for the run~ I think I'm starting to become a softy. Sigh, sigh. I need to work on that. I am happy that I can meet the core-strength requirements. It's my running time because I don't want to be recycled in BMT! The last thing you want is to be recycled (pushed back) and stay in basic even longer...

After we were done, we left. And I saw "Chase"...

OH, OH! WHEN WE WERE RUNNING, he was basically on his way back when I wasn't even done with the whole thing, and he said to me, "Are you okay? (smile) You doing alright? (smile)" STOP SHOWING ME YOUR GORGEOUS TEETH, GAWD DANG IT! But I was like, "YEAH, (giggle) I'M FINE! (smile)" (hnnnnng~~~) I bet I looked all awkward. -_- lol.

So when we were done, we were all went to our cars and left. When I was in the car, I felt dizzy and nauseous. I felt like I was going to throw up in the car but I didn't. (thank goodness) but I got home, went to the bathroom, felt better and I checked online that my dizziness and nausea after running/PT is usually because I didn't eat a pre-snack work out and enough water so my body was lacking oxygen. POO. So I ate a snack after and then I'm going to have a PB&J sandwich after I make this blog.

And at 3pm, I have a movie "date" with Elder Preator and Elder Kirk. Mmmm~ Apparently, we're going to watch a Mormon film. Um, I think it's about Joseph Smith. And I have a surprise for them! I'm going to bring some frosted animal cookies and chocolate milk for them. Teehee. Is my affection for the Elders a little too obvious? LOL.

Today can't get any better than a day filled with good-looking men in PT uniforms and suits.

I love today,
Otter

I Guess It's Time...

I just back from PT about two hours ago and I finally have time to go online.

Again, PT was good but I was the only girl. Sigh. But only three boys showed up so it wasn't as bad as the last time but it was good.

However, before we all had to start our PT, Ssgt. Fears would do announcements and give us updates about whatever she has in her head and today... She announced who got booked!

AND GUESS WHAT?! I BOOKED MY FIRST CHOICE! I BOOKED A DAMN JOB! HOORAH!

I am going to be the newest member of the United States Air Force aircraft armament systems specialist! HELL YEAH! I'LL BE WORKING ON THOSE PLANES, JETS AND WHATNOT!

And guess what else? I LEAVE ON JUNE 19TH!

AND, I have a possible home-base job!

Dude. Life's turning up...

I just wish I had the courage to pick up my phone, dial Blue Fox's number and tell him.

Feelin' good,

Otter

PS: Now I have to eat my egg salad sandwich and head to the post office!

USAF Process.

So this coming Wednesday, I'll be heading down to the recruiters office and I'll be sent to the hotel and Thursday, I have to get up at 4am and head down to the hospital for the MEPS process. (Yippy.)

Once I've sworn in, (hopefully it's the day of) all I have to do is wait for one of my job selections (the jobs that I have selected that I wanted to do based on my ASVAB score; which is basically like an entrance test and sees what kind of jobs you're capable of doing based on your general knowledge.) and when the Air Force has an opening for a job and it's one of the ones I selected (I picked about 10+) then my recruiter will call me, ask if I want to take it and if I take it, she will book me a spot and give me the date.

Then more processing happens. I go back for a MEPS check up (yeah, they do one before you leave for basic training) and then they will give me a brief summary of things and then put me on a bus to the airport and then I'll head to Texas, get picked up by a shuttle/bus and then go to the Lackland AFB where BMT (basic military training) will start.
