Two-month Update

So it's been almost two months since I found out what job I'll be doing in the Air Force. That means I am about halfway through my waiting period between the day I found out and the day I leave for BMT. Time sure does fly!

I'm writing now because a few months into any major decision is usually the first time I start having my second thoughts about it. Typically, it takes about this long for me to start seeing the depths of my decision. And while it will still be a long time before I know the "down and dirty" aspects of my future job, the fact that I am leaving home and setting off on my own has definitely had time to set in.

So how do I feel about it? I'd be lying if I said I haven't had ANY second thoughts about my choice. There are brief times when I think "what the hell am I doing?" However, the important word there is "brief." Any time I think like that, I can quickly access my mental list of reasons why I'm doing this, and answer the question that usually causes me so much distress: Is this the right choice?

Two months into my knowledge of my future, I am happy to say that I still feel I made the right choice!
