I never thought that I got anxious much. But apparently I was wrong about that. Maybe it's because I'm finally putting to virtual paper what I want to be when I grow up. Or at least, what I plan to do about a year from now and both the good and bad consequences that are more than likely to arrive. Or perhaps, it's because I'm allowing others to view my thoughts on the matter as well. Whatever the issue, I'm glad to have started this blog, even if no other soul takes a look at it.
As of today, I'm 18 years old. 5'6", 196 lbs., and I want to join the United States Army as soon as possible. My dimensions are a little off for Army standards, which is why I've started on a fitness plan of my own. Pushups, squats, situps. I did my first real ones this morning, and it's got my thighs, abs, and arms already sore. But it's more than worth the pain.
I don't think I'm the ideal recruit that any recruiter would want. First, there's the glaring fact that I'm overweight, so there's not much to do with me on that. But that's something I can fix as long as I stick to it all the way through and don't quit. No, I think the issue that they would have with me is the fact that I probably know more than I should. Meaning that I more than likely won't get screwed over when it comes to discussing my options for my career. There's not much that I can ask that I don't already know. I'm not saying that I know it all, but enough to know what goes on at BCT, AIT and other stuff like that. How much of an obligation I would have, that I should always, always read the contract before I sign. I've heard too many horror stories about that not to do so.
Anyway, this blog will most likely consist of fitness progress, new things I've learned when it comes to the military, and some more about what I want to do in the Army, along with random tidbits about myself. If you find it to be interesting, then I'm happy. If not, then I don't care. For now, toodles!
