Operation: BULKING UP!

I just called the air force recruiter today and explained my background in brief detail, why I'm interested in joining and etc. I mentioned that I'm also underweight and he said that I will have to come back when I'm "qualified." Upon researching why waivers weren't mentioned in my conversation with my recruiter, it's the simple fact that the AF is downsizing drastically to the point where they are working to remove people already enlisted.

This leaves me no choice but to start working out and bulking up. Muscle weighs more than fat, so I'm borrowing my best friends weights and keeping cardio workouts on a minimum.

Oh, and I'm underweight because of several factors not worth mentioning that are beyond control. It's not a medical reason, rather environmental reasons involving my mom's boyfriend. Getting prepared is my primarily focus now and I'm putting mind all into this. Anything else that upsets me from now on involving home life will strengthen my focus as this is only one of many obstacles I will face in this lifetime.

I decided that the AF is the best option for me because the Army seems a little too bit overwhelming. Being that I'm going active duty, I want to be treated like a human being, not a statistic. Of course this is the military you're talking about, and you're wondering how I could expect to be treated like a human being - I mean when you compare the experiences of Army and AF active duty members, AF seems like the best bet as quality of life is much better.

Determination is all I need to accomplish my goal, and my number one goal right now is to make the cut to be considered a future enlistee or airman. 

It's gonna be a long road with plenty of road blocks, but that won't stop me because my goals are waiting to be fulfilled.


PS. I'd just like to say thanks to those who helped me through these trials. You know who you are and you guys are the reasons that push my strength even further. 

PSS. I'm home now and everything is still the same but I am only focused on my goals rather than the things that prevent me or drag me down. I'm totally hijacking my neighbor's internet right now.. so shh..

Until next time,

Anthony :)
