Leaving tomorrow...

So tomorrow morning I head down to MEPS to start the process of shipping out for BMT. I ship out Tuesday afternoon, but tonight will be the last night I spend in this house for quite some time. What I said last month about feeling that this is the right decision still holds true, but I am well beyond the point where decision-making is going to play a role; I am going to the Air Force, and there are no two ways about it!

Perhaps the fact that the decision is now out of my hands has something to do with my state of mind right now. Or, perhaps it's just that this change is of such great magnitude that I am incapable of fully absorbing it. Whatever the reason, I can say for certain that the fact that I'm leaving has not fully set in. Not even close. I'm much calmer and subdued than I thought I would be. That could very well change as I'm signing my final contract tomorrow, but for now I feel good.

Regardless of my emotional state, it's been very helpful to look back on my past posts and see how my thought process has progressed throughout this process. I can't wait to sign back on in a few months and see how much I've changed....until then, so long!
