Its been long...

I've graduated high school and moved to a new state since last posting. And I have since decided to enlist in the United States Navy because:
1) I dont know what I want to do for college and do not want to waste money being 'undecided'
2) I want the adventure of going on the high seas
3) I do not want to spend my life paycheck to paycheck because I work at a dead-end job with no future
4) I want to be proud of myself for something.
Some of my family is happy, some not so much. I love my family to death but this is my decision, not theirs, its my life and I will do with it what I will, whether they are behind me or not.
They are, however, making me wait until Im 18 to go forward with anything, which is a drag considering I plan things out carefully and the later I go in the later I get out. So this friday, the 20th, I plan on calling a recruiter.
Im excited but nervous and at the same time terrified that I wont make it in due to stupidity of being young, but the stars say to be patient and things will fall into place.
