Why?

It was pointed out to me that I have not even gave a reason behind all of this. Why have I joined the Navy? Who am I? Well I don't really know what to say to either of those. Of course I do know the answers, but what to say in a blog. This is all very strange and new to me.

I am a 27 year old woman who is divorced with two children. He has them right now. I was a house wife and have not been able to get on my feet since I left 2 years ago. It has been a trying time in my life. I am trying to do what is best for my children and me. The Navy was my mom's idea. We thought that I might finally weigh enough. lol! I am a very small woman. I barely make weight, but I did. My personality is perfact for the military I am told. And I am really happy about the idea and getting a move on for it. I really wanted to when I was in high school but was to small when I graduated to be considered and then life happened. My children are very excited about my new adventure. I know it will help me get back on my feet and out of my mom's house and back into the work force. I have been out of it for to long. I got to sick as well. All good things come in time and now this has too. Everyone, family and friend, are really excited and feel this is the best choice I could have made considering all of the circumstances involved.

I know that I will do well and excell greatly through all of this. I will be made into the person I already know that I am and to me that is the greatest thing of all. I will not need to be forced into something I am not. I already am that person, just need the training to show it.
