WARNING: Contained within are the ramblings and ravings of a disillusioned 20-year old with no real life experience and absolutely no relative reasons to bitch, but has chosen to do so because that's what his Psych teacher recommended. These views are in no way, shape, or form intended to reflect reality as perceived by the reader. Read on at your own risk.
- Talisman So... today was the final day for classes and school work and all that stuff. Of the four classes I took, I failed three. One was an Easy A for someone of my "apitude" that I missed due to not applying myself. One I failed to keep track of amongst everything else, and failed to apply myself to. The third I had no hope of passing in the first place. As the year comes to a close, my prospects of continued employment with my current company are uncertain. I don't care. There are others who were hired with me this season who do the same job, just better and faster. My heart just isn't in anything any more. I could blame it all on not taking time to properly grieve my grandfather's passing, but... it's more than that. I can't feel for anything any more. A successful hunt... Nothing. ROFLstomping people in Ace Combat... Zero (ha). Doing good for others... Nada. Spending what little time I can afford with my girlfriend over Skype... Just enough neurons fire to register as "happiness". I feel like... like I'm waiting for something. Like all of this, work, school, these things that you have to do to get anywhere in life, to amount to anything... that I'm just doing this because it's just that. I don't want to. My heart isn't in it. But I have to, because that's what I need to do to function within this society. And for the longest time... I thought that's what I did want. But now that I've been there, now that I've tried it, to be honest... I hate it. Earlier this month I spoke with the local USAF recruiter. She says I can get in easily- my weight's down to within a pound of the requirement, I did well enough on the practice ASVAB, I'm in good physical condition... the point is that I'm eligible. That's the best news I'd heard in a long while. Since I was a kid sitting in front of a TV with a Genesis controller in my hand, all I've ever wanted to do is fly. I wanted to be like my hero, saving and seeing the world at speeds that most people can only dream of ever achieving. To use my gifts to make the world a safer, better place. Every kid has that fantasy, I guess. And for the longest time, it was just that for me. A fantasy. Something I dreamed about when I was alone and down. But here, now, I have the path. The means. It's a long road, but it's better than stumbling around like a blind man, searching for purpose. But the thing that worries me is, will I eventually grow bored with it, like everything else? Or is this the path I really am supposed to take? Thoughts? Comments? Belittlings and demands that I grow up, shut up, and just deal with it like everyone else?

If you want to fly, finish college and go to Officers school.
The Navy has more jets anyway.

If you wanna fly then fuck it, fly. Who am I to judge you? I am damn near 30 and posting on a toy forum for Christ sake.

They also have only one type of jet. Three, counting the F-16Ns and F-5E/F-5Fs they use as aggressors.

Go fuckin fly...but, even in the Air Force, you need to be a zero in order to fly so finish fuckin school or else you'll be an E5 in the AF changing the oil in hydraulic systems. Nothing wrong with being Enlisted (I was for 20 years) but E's can't fly.

If your weight is within a pound of maximum at 20, you'll be battling that your whole career. It would take an extreme commitment to fitness in order to succeed as an officer in any of the branches.
Just something to think about.

Let me clarify. The weight they need me at, going off of the BMI, is 175. I was at 176, accounting for clothing weight, when I dropped by in the evening.
