I turn 36. Got my criminal record cleared enough to enter. 1 felony, 2 misd. I did not mention even can do. I just made 2 States back up, legally. I learn extremely fast. So, basic 6 weeks+2 1/2 + what, 4 years tech then to base. So around 40 to a base. There is a saying that is true. " Be weary old men in a profession where the young are expected to die young" There is nothing I can not do if I set my mind to it. As I remember when I posted the roadblocks, etc. Almost everyone doubted I could get them dropped, or that the States made mistakes. I just proved that dead wrong. I walked over 5k milea in 3 years, with between 60 and 120 lbs. on my back( clothes, and paperwork, and things needed for hygiene, etc.) I've slept on concrete, mud,wood, and things I don't even want to think about. In freezing cold, drenching rain, dead heat. You name it, I walked and slept through it. Never once did I ever back up or give up, and I am not about to start now. Last post I saw, A.F needs Airmen. That would be why they raised the age. If they did not need me, at my age, they never would have raised the age requirement. The few here that encouraged me, thank you very much! I did what was said was impossible to do already. So, Blue to Green, and then Marines, whom I've already spoken with, via Yuma. So, questions remaining are: will I have to retake the A.S.V.A.B or will K.c MEPs station have the one i did there in 99 and use that? And do I let them know when they ask I want Battle Field? Or is there anything else anyone wants to say I can't do? P.s I hate the word can't. I love proving people wrong when they say that word directed at me.
