I'm nervous as hell now. I leave in an hour to go through the processing and swear in tomorrow. From there I'm basically waiting til the day I depart. Family time means so much more to me now (not that it hasn't in the past) but knowing I'll be gone for 6 or so months really is beginning to sink in.
At least I have an outstanding recruiter who has been straight with me. Going into the medical side of things really downplays the deployment opportunities. I mean the possibilities are still there but much less versus other areas I could have specialized in. So once I'm back I'm hoping I'm back for the long haul and spending most of my 6 years (if I'm lucky) around home and the greatest thing on earth to me: my family!
Ooo-rah!
