A Dream Killed Twice: No Military for Me

I finally got in touch with the good guys at Military.com, which I got given a number for Sgt. Merrill who forwarded me to Sgt. Gasell and come to find out I cannot join the military due to being a diabetic. So for the second time in my life, my dream has been shattered. I have always wanted to join, even since I was at the young age of 5. I literally had all kinds of surplus: gas masks, parachute gear, clothing, etc.; Now That I have found out that my military career is not able to happen, mind you for a second time, I am very dissappointed. The first time actually happened in 2001 when I was 12 and first got diagnosed with diabetes. They told me I might not be able to join, and I think since then I have had the fear of not being able to, and I finally took the next step to get in touch with a recruiter and come to find out, I can't. So I don't agree with the decision but maybe I can find a loop hole, wish me luck.

 

On other notes, I'll be piecing together my new computer little by little. Next paycheck is possibly the mother board and processor, then I will have to pick up the RAM and video card. I still have a little way to go, but it's a process to keep building.

 

Work related, I have been making big jumps to get myself to where I need to be, and an almost release for bad performance (due to some percentage issues) I have put myself at the top of the team, but we are all making big progress. I have to push more and more every time to keep myself up and going.

 

I'm also going to be making some more progress that none of you have seen due to my lack of time to make changes and update. Keep in contact.
