In just three months, I have nearly completed my time here in Pensacola. API - three weeks from the end. Academics end this week. So far, no speed bumps: tests have gone well, swimming went...swimmingly, and I rocked the running portions. It's been a lot of work - studying more than I'd like, and less fun than one might desire. However, I feel some real accomplishment. The things I'm learning make this whole Navy thing pretty real.
I haven't started looking at places out in Oklahoma yet. But I hope to do that soon. My computer is back from the dead, so I can begin to do that kind of thing.
It'll be sad to leave here. Though I expected to be largely hermetic down here, I have found some great folks in the Navy. Supportive friends, all going through the same things. Even made nice with some Michigan folks - seems like college football's a good bonding point. The most sour part of my move will be leaving these people and starting over with Air Force pilots out in Oklahoma.
Serves me right for being Curly in Oklahoma.
I've been through the state once or twice. Really liked Oklahoma City - saw the bombing memorial, too. I hope I like Enid. It's a few hours from major cities, and the town itself looks pretty small. Scary, at times, but God hasn't misdirected me yet. We'll see about this south Midwestern town.
