Second DEP Meeting

Hey! Future Airman Frederick here. So, I had my second DEP meeting yesterday. I was surprised to see that I gained 3 pounds. Usually that would be a bad thing. But, in my case, a few pounds wouldn't hurt because I'm too close to the minimum weight. And the last thing I need is for the people at MEPs to say I can't ship out because I'm tiny. I can't help it my metabolism's fast! Okk..I'm rambling and venting. Anyways, a few weeks ago I met with a FBI agent to do an interview for the Air Force. I had no idea I needed to do one. So, I was a little nervous when she called but it went well.

On another note, I have 111 days left til I ship out. So many of the people that I've met in the last few weeks are about to leave for basic training. I'm so excited for them, you would think I'm jumping on that plane to San Antonio, Texas too. Just thinking about boot camp makes me really want to go to the gym! I'm have to stay motivated and in shape over the next 3 months and some weeks! And I'm going to do just that! Byee! -Runs off into the wild blue yonder- :)

And The Wait Begins...

I officially have 4 months until I ship out for Air Force basic training! Seems like forever and a day away but it will be here before I know it. My whole journey started and took off so quickly. From the time I first saw a recruiter and took the practice ASVAB, I swore in just 2 and a half weeks later! And now the wait really begins. There's so much I need to memorize before I leave but don't know where to start. I already know the Airman's Creed and the 3 core values..but the chain of command, rank & Air Force song? Not so much. But like I said, I have 120 days and that's more than enough time. Anything I can do to make my experience at basic a tad bit easier, I will gladly do in the comfort of my own home. Until then, I have nothing to do but work, workout, study and, most importantly, STAY QUALIFIED :)
