The husband just left to go the US Army recruiting office at Balboa today. He's taking his ASVAB test around noon. He promised me that if he gets a high score we will be watching Eclipse today. If not... well, we're gonna stay home and just continue doing laundry. He's been a nervous wreck ever since he started reviewing his ASVAB. I was helping him review the past few days, I just wish he could get the score he wants. I asked him last night if he was nervous for basic training, and he was like 'I'm much nervous for the test, basic training is ok,' funny guy....
We tried comforting him as much as we can. I know he can do it. He's been preparing for this for months and I don't see why he has to give up now. Joining the military was the last option. He lost weight in a matter of months, if he doesn't make it then at least he had lost the weight and that's a great benefit for his health, It's time to move on with other options. If he has a great score on his ASVAB he'll be tested for Physical and I think he can ace that. From push ups, sit ups and running miles... I believe he can do it.
I remembered when the recruiter told me back in 2003 that I couldn't join the Navy because I had a C-section, he wanted me to go back the next following year when I'm all healed up, plus I still had 10 lbs to lose back then. But laziness reared it's ugly head and I didn't go back because I was already comfortable with my job. I'm 27 now and if the husband doesn't make it in the Army, I'll make sure I get in myself. I will try my best for the sake of my family.
I kept on praying for him... He has a lot of potential. The Army SGT. he talked to looked at his college diploma and he said that if my husband ever gets in, he will get to be an E-4 right away. My husband has his regrets, he waited until he was in his late 30's to join the service. And when I compared my husband's body the first time I met him and today, I say his present body is the fittest I have seen. And he too admitted that he never felt so fit in his life. Ever since we pulled him to the gym, he has never stopped since. :)
I'm on pins and needles right now just waiting for his call.... doing laundry at the moment and I need to check out this epson receipt printer, my work place definitely need to change their receipt printers, they are all breaking down like potato chips, seriously they need a make over like, right now. Every time I change the receipt paper, the top just falls off! Anyways, got to for now, my first load of laundry is done.

hi Kitty, oh your hubby is joining military lucky you dont have to force your husband. Unlike me i'm forcing luvski to take the ASVAB again but he does not want to anymore kahit daw lumuha ako ng dugo sa kakapilit. Early this year, around march ata yun nagpunta kami sa recruiter sinamahan lang namin na mag-take ng ASVAB yung friend namin and then he end up inquiring kung valid pa yung last ASVAB test nya. Medyo mataas din nakuha nyang score, 72. Pero ang sabi expired na daw yung application nya before kelangan nya mag take ulet.
He wanted to join the Air force and ito ang last year nya para sa age limit. OK na sana kaso umatras nong malaman na combat specialist ang hanap nila ngayon. means kelangan nila ng tao na ipapadala sa giyera. kaya ayun ayaw na talaga. Ganda din sana oportunidad ang military eh kaso sayang lang talaga ayaw na nya.
Anyways, good luck sa hubby mo kitty. kaya pala napansin ko rin malaki ang na lost na weight ni hubby mo kesa nong mga nagdaang taon. Am sure he will get a high score kasi sabi ni hubby hindi naman daw ganun kahirap ang ASVAB mas mahirap pa daw yung Police officer na test.
sensya na pahaba naman itong comment ko. naka relate lang talaga ako sa post mo hehehe. take care kitty!
si hubby din sis he applied for Army Reserve Nurse but we didn't hear from them yet. cguro mas okay kung dadaan ka sa recruiter. pero anyway, di naman seryoso si hubby dun. hehe. i just saw online that they need reserve nurses so i told him to apply. ganda kc ng benefits esp. now that he's taking his masters. the army can pay for his education. ;)
Hello Ate Kitty still remember me? Wow it's been ages. Buti na lang nakita kita sa blog ni Ate Scart. Hala na-miss ko kayo. Anyway, I do hope your husband gets in. Though anythin with military in it scares the crap outta me. Though I wanted to be in the police before. Haha! The national defense system sucks here anyway. XD Miss yah Ate!
