June 17, why are you so far away?

Probably the best thing I've ever done with my life, ever

After being in the Armed Forces for 2 years, I've come to realize that my enlistment is almost halfway through, and with making it to the halfway mark, the next question arises, "Are you going to reenlist?" This question has always been a genuine I don't know for me. I've never really been sure to be honest. I always told myself we'll see how it goes when I get closer to my 6 year mark, but as all things in the Air Force, this process will start a lot sooner than 6 years, the question will soon become a yes or no, and with a swish of my signature, I could be looking at more time in service, or even less. After the last coming weeks, I've had some of the hardest trials and tribulations I've had in a long time. I've never had to fight for a job, I've never had to actually give a shit, but after the instance came where I could very well lose all that I have made for myself in the last 2 years, lose all that I worked very hard for, I saw it disappear. I literally watched all of that shit wash down the drain and I just stood there and watched. This is not the type of life I want to live, skating by, just barely making it. I want stability, I want reassurance, I want permanence, and while all things aren't permanent, that close 97.6% that the Air Force has given me is close enough. This is a new year, and it's going to have a lot of new challenges and obstacles for me, a lot that are going to impact the course of my life for the next 20 some odd years, but what I've realized so early on, and I'm glad I did sooner rather than later, is that I do what to stay in the military. I do what to serve my country, and I do want to keep the legacy that I have created for myself, my family, and my future family. I don't ever want to struggle, because being a young girl growing up with struggle and hardship, you know how important it is to be able to provide for your family, give your family all they need (need, not want) and be able to keep a constant roof over their heads. This is something that I want to be able to do no matter the economy, no matter the hardships, I don't want to be halfway, I want to exceed my expectations and the expectations of others, and that's what the hell I'm going to do, from now until my last breath. Rant over.
