qwerty2008 Posted October 24, 2015 Author #332 Posted October 24, 2015 I am leaving for Vegas today to work at a tech convention. The money I make will go towards a missions trip my church is planning so I won't be getting paid.A small update on the National guard, I decided to join the Airforce instead and am thinking about going active duty.

mtaylor Posted October 24, 2015 #333 Posted October 24, 2015 Military might not be a bad option especially the Air Force, Lextin. They now, as I recall still have the college fund in place and you can take college credit courses (depending on duty station, etc.) while on active duty. On plus side, you'll get to see some of the world or at least the US... depending. On the negative, shipbuilding might or might not be an option depending on the duty station. Have fun at the convention....

qwerty2008 Posted October 24, 2015 Author #334 Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) My Model building will take a hit, but to kickstart my life it would be worth it. After my first enlistment, I can do Air reserves and get a civilian job using skills learned in the military. I wouldn't have any major bills/expenses while on active duty so a large portion of my pay could be set aside for when I get out. Lextin.

qwerty2008 Posted August 4, 2016 Author #338 Posted August 4, 2016 I realize it's been over 9 months since my last post. I seem to have lost track of time as it feels like it was just yesterday that I put the Byzantium in my closet. Since my last update, I have had some setbacks in joining the Air Force but everything has been sorted out. I'm currently getting ready to leave as I ship out to basic this Monday. I managed to get aircraft hydraulic systems (2A6X5) which was my number 2 pick so I'm pretty happy. In other news, my cat Chica died a few months ago due to fluid build up in her abdominal cavity. I loved that cat and hated to see her go but, the timing was good as now I don't have anything holding me back from leaving. Lextin. Omega1234 and mtaylor 2 Quote "I have no special talent.

mtaylor Posted August 4, 2016 #339 Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Lextin, It's great that you got everything sorted out but I am sorry to hear about Chica. Hydraulics is a good choice... I'm glad you got what you wanted and able to start a new adventure. Stay in touch with us occasionally, ok?
