Hey Forum, Long Time No....anything.

[Guest katie019]

so i havent been on here since dec. ish. because i have been really busy with work, training and everything. but i have decided to re-enlist. even tho i dislike it, i can deal with it for another 4 yrs. i just wouldnt have anything going for me if i got out. so i figure, if i can get a degree while im in plus get as high of rank as i can in the next 4 yrs, i would have enough security for me to be confident to get out. mainly peace of mind. i cant go back to the streets. but, in the new unit im going to im supposed to deploy in nov. to afghanistan, and it seems like i had just got back from iraq. life moves fast. im not completely worried tho. also, thanks to those who helped me out, gave me advice, and talked to me at the end of last year. you helped me alot..even if it didnt seem like it. thanx for reading.

love ya.

I remember you! Come back and visit us more often, would you?

Sounds like you have a reasonable plan worked out -- I hope things go well for you.

Katie, babe I understand ok? Make your priorities YOU this time ok?

-Start a seperate savings account and save the money for SRS and FFS.

-WORK on your degree. I mean WORK! Take what ever classes you can. If you can get in to your feild while still in to get the experiance, DO IT!

-If you feel you can, find a good gender therapist and start a therapy relationship with them. Start building the nessassary paperwork showing that you have GID and the requesite HRT letter and carry letter. Yes, I know 4 years is a long way off, but its coming...

thanx for the advice. but the chances of getting in the work field of my degree will be slim to none the same with a therapist. mainly because i will be in germany and my work involves the field alot. but, i will definately keep what you said in mind and use what ever chance i can to get prepared.

thanx so much

Katie....

Nice to see you out of the sandbox....

Personally I'm not much of a military fan (even though I did my time.....)

All I can say is ...if you go back for 4 years ...MAKE IT COUNT!

Get down with those classes...save money...do all that you can...

I know that you can do it!

LOVE & Good luck huggs!

i am in afghanistan now, and in for 20 years already, advice, go to school. i have obtained my associates and working on bachelors in computer programming. pick a field you can work in after you get out and that is growing and in need, one that also stands out is the medical field, nursing. dont put it off. do your best and keep your feelings to yourself, dont trust anyone in the military, a friend can betray you out of spite or want.
