No turning back now. From yesterdays date for 8 years he is in an obligated service to the Air Force but we are only enlisted for 6 and then if we don't continue and we go to war where he is needed then they can have him back until the 8 years is up. The way it is looking at this point (which you never know because really it is in the Lords hands) we will continue on and re enlist at 4 years for another 4 or 6 years.
So Joseph went through MEPS and had all the tests ran on him yesterday and flunked the depth perception test. Interesting huh! but no worries All the jobs we really want are still on the list but he did have to get rid of Aerial gunner and EOD. SERE and pararescue and other jobs are still offered. So his final 5 that will go into processing for enlisting are
Security Forces
Weatherman
helicopter Maintenance
Vehicle Maintenance
Medical Services
So They are going through the process and mid September we will be given a job and a date. They only give out dates and jobs 1 X per month. We are pretty confident that we will get Security Forces but we shall see. Joseph is also thinking about after September 22 that was the availability date he gave them he is thinking about putting in a job draw so if someone gets hurt or drops out of the job he wants then they can ship him off to training before his actual date. The sooner the better, yet I can't imagine my life going months with out seeing him. But We will do it with the Lords help :) But we shall see and know more in mid September. When he does go to basic he will go to Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio Texas. That lasts 8 weeks then he has graduation and then off to tech school which I think is at the same place for Security Forces but all of these answers will have to wait a few more weeks.
So that is the update thus far~
