A cheated cheater

[undefeated]

Once upon a time I myself wanted to be a soldier. I have so many strikes that I am probably NEVER going to qualify.

See, this is what happens when insomnia sets in and I get "brilliant" ideas at 3-4 am. I did really consider becoming a soldier before graduating high school. But I got married instead. And I have three babies! I also am about 100 pounds overweight right now. And dual military is very hard. Not impossible, but never easy.

My brother, younger than me by two years, is Air Force. He got married straight out of high school (guess I was a bad example) to a girl headed for the AF too. He went to California, she went to Japan. That marriage lasted six months. Then he got engaged to a girl in Mississippi who decided to call it off when he got stationed in South Dakota. There he married another AF girl. Not really sure how/why that marriage ended, but it only lasted about two months. He's in Iraq right now, so if you are people who pray, lend him a few minutes of your thoughts. It's not my faith, but it couldn't hurt. But his current fiance just got re-stationed from South Dakota to Florida.

His track record is one of many reasons I'd like to not end my marriage in divorce. How sad is it for him to be 22 and twice divorced? Maybe I'll send him DB an DR as overseas reading material. Not sure he'd appreciate it though.

IDK, it just feels like if I'm looking into options I'm doing something at least.

While this is true, 4 am is really not the time to be brainstorming career choices, eh? Good grief - I e-mailed a recruiter. My record will probably turn him off. If not though, I'm never going to stop hearing from them. I only stopped hearing from the Navy after high school when I told them I was pregnant!

But I just...wanted to look at options. And I guess it's better to know whether this is one or not, right?

I guess this makes sense. Now somebody take away my laptop when I'm sleepy!
