Things Change Things and Things Stay the Same

Unfortunantly, I have some not so good news.  As those of you who know me, know that I have promised myself to the Corp. for at least the next four years.  I was initially informed that I would be shipping out on June 17th for a night at the millineum hotel in Nashville, then from there to MEPS, and From there after a final swearing in and quick checkup I would be headed to Parris Island, South Carolina for three months of intense training.  I would be saying goodbye on Father's Day.  Now they have changed my date without my consent to June the 4th.  Their reasoning being that I am quote "more physically fit and mentally prepared for basic than my fellow DEP members"  thus, I have to leave before the rest of them.  I have made a lot of friends down at the recruiting station and wqas really looking forward to shipping out with them, but now I have been moved up.  The thing that bothers me most about all this is that now I won't have my ten day break with Dennis.    He will come home four days after I ship out to California for AIT.  Then it's off to our duty stations with only 30 days a year paid vacation.  I have a 2 year tour in Hawaii and the other 2 years is wherever I am needed.  I am really going to miss all the guys from the recruiting station.  They said that it just won't be the same without "Barbie" (that's what they call me).  I wish I could change it, but as they say.."You belong to the Corp. now."  To all those who took the time to read this..thank-you...I know you don't understand my situation, but if you read iut then It either interests you , or you care, so thanks.

that sucks that they changed that schedule! do they have no regard for your plans/needs/etc.? how disappointing. You are strong though, and will get through this.
