Good Night All.
Sorry it's been so long since I have posted probably almost a week, I've just kinda been stressed out with school and stuff. For like the last three weeks I'd have to wear one uniform to school and bring another and change at lunch, and I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but it really was a pain in my butt. I also couldn't eat in the class room, and for the last week we had to march in as a class, I guess I kinda let it get to me a little, I felt I should be concentrating on school and not this stupid bs stuff, but this is the Navy, and even in times like this I have to remember to play the game, which I did, well any Monday was the last day for all that bad stuff, so my class is back to normal, which is good and hopefully I can get in my routine again. As for my weekend, basically all we had to do as a class was clean two classrooms really good and that was the extent of our punishment, well and having to march in to class for a week.
Today I had another test, well I'm not really pleased with the results 3.18/4.0 but it was good enough to keep me at 5/21 in the class and on my 10-0, which are so important. I can't help but think all of the marching and not being in a routine kinda contributed to me not scoring as high as I have in the past. I have another big test a week from Thursday, that I plan on doing really well on, I believe it is one of the easier tests I'll have. I just have to remember that I am half way through A-school and on March 31 I'll be a Petty Officer (basically a promotion and raise) if all goes according to plan.
On a side note I found out last week that most likely I'll be on T-Trac for a while waiting on my Security Clearance, which is kinda good but kinda bad. The good part is that all this time waiting I should have a normal 9-5 job most of the time, I'll be able to spend more time with Lisa, and most importantly I'm not at sea. The bad part is I have to stress about not getting my security clearance, which everyone says not to do, but when some people get their clearance at boot camp and I have to wait upwards to a year, it kinda makes you nervous, no security clearance = job I didn't want. I've heard rumors that me being 25, married, owning a house, and coming from a big city with a common last name all contribute to having to wait longer because it is more difficult for the back ground check than for some 18 kid with no very little "history", but then I've also been told none of that stuff matters, so who knows. I'm just hoping that I sell the house soon, get put on T-Trac (which is normal for most people, even if they have their clearance but just for a couples weeks to a couple of months, then they start the next phase in schooling) for about 7 - 9 months, get my clearance and continue on with my Naval career. Well that was a long enough rant for tonight, I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow, starting at probably about 0430.
Oh I almost forgot today playing dodge ball I threw the ball as hard as I could and hit some poor girl in the head on accident... but more on that tomorrow.
