Success, Changes and Degrees.

I just realized that you had a post under the "Conyo" video.

To be honest, you're not the only one who isn't in a rush to finish college and yes, people are all different and have different paths but I believe that as long as you still keep it in mind that you'll graduate with a degree you like, then take as much time as you want. My parents are just the same way...

USAF NEWS!

So today, I went to my USAF appointment and I finally spoke to a recruiter, Ssgt. Ashley Fears, and she looked up my files hoping that my stuff would be easy stuff and luckily for her, it was. It didn't take too long for her to open up my files and see what I have done in the last year... She saw that I have done my physicals (MEPS) and she has seen my ASVAB (aptitude test), I even asked her if I had to do the physicals again because a previous recruiter told me that it was only good for a year, but she said that I wouldn't have to because it's good for two years. THANK GOD. She made a few calls on how to make the process with an applicant coming from Guam and found out that she will have to do a MEPS-to-MEPS pull; meaning that she would need my current Guam recruiter to send over my stuff and once that goes smoothly, Ssgt. Ashley Fears can schedule me to go to LA and do a re-check up on my MEPS at a official MEPS facility. And after that, I can be sworn in and hopefully get a job... Since I'm thinking of going in as 'general open', hopefully I can get a spot and Ssgt. Fears said that when I go enlist as 'open', then I can get a ship-date within a month or so and I can be in basic training before summer.

FREAKING. AWESOME. AND ABOUT. TIME.

So, I'm pretty stoked! I mean, I left the recruiting office in a good mood, I even treated our neighbor German to Subway (with coupons, since we have a bunch at home) and we plan on celebrating with booze at the end of the month because he can't drink just yet. LOL. I don't know why BUT I DON'T CARE. I'M ON MY EFFIN' WAY!

Final-effing-ly,
Otter

A Friendly Defence.

Most of us hate cruelty towards animals and I hate to see the animal population going down. But now, there's a spark of hope in the elephant world! It's a new innovative solution to the problem of the destructive elephans in Kenya!

While the revival of the elephants in Kenya has been a huge sucess or conservationists, it has come to the expense of farmers and villages who live near the sometimes dangerous pachyderms. Some clever thinking may end up saving everyone some grief. Elephants, like humans, are afraid of bees. Farmers and villagers experiemented with fences made of bee hives - instead of the traditionl thorn fences - and found them to be much more effective. As an added bonus, Kenyen farmers may now benefit from selling honey.
