    Finally finished. . . nearly

    Well today I signed my contract and got sworn in. I am currently in the Advanced Electrical program, but I should be signing a new contract on Monday for Nuclear engineering. They were waiting on paperwork, and due to the number of times I have had to go back and forth, I was ok with signing my contract and waiting to switch my MOS when they got all my paper work processed. I am really excited about all this. I honestly cant wait to ship out and get boot camp over with, though I know it will be a few months before I do. OH, and now I am getting a kilt in the Navy tartan thanks to the generosity of a board member! I love XMTS!

    I hadnt planned on it, but thanks for the advice. And cacunn, I have started to work out as much as my schedule will let me. Between college, work, homework, and sleep, exercise is hard to fit in.

    I am now a Nuke! Just signed my new contract today. Unfortunatley that pushes my ship date to Nov 6. . . . What am I supposed to do between now and then. Well, at least it gives me more time to tie up loose ends.
