I don't know what to do!!
April 30, 2008My sister wants to join the Air Force
I really don't know how to feel about this. Now I think I know how my mom felt when my brother told her that he wanted to join the Air Force. I'm really, really sad and I don't know how I can handle this!
My sister wants to join the Air Force not because they will pay for her tuition to finish her degree or that it will help her get a job later but she feels that it will help her become a better person. I also agree with her when she told me that there is nothing wrong with having a military background.
The reason why I'm so upset is because she will not only be gone for a while but I'm scared because of all of the recent things going on in the Middle East. I don't want her to be shipped out there for months or even a couple of years. I'm scared enough worrying about my brother because right now he is over seas, not in Iraq thank God but it's the fact that he is somewhere else. Now I have to worry about my sister going.
Maybe I'm getting upset too soon because she can't go until she gets down to the required weight for the Air Force and this may not happen until a year or a couple years from now. But it's the fact that she wants to do this and she is going to do it whether it's 2 yrs from now or tomorrow. Plus when she does go, her and I won't be able to talk for 6 weeks because she will be in training! Do you know how frustrating that will be? Everyday her and I send the same text message just see how we're both doing.
She's not even gone and I'm upset. How am I going to get through this when she really does leave for training?? What do I do??
