Going to the board

So I was in the gym last night with my work out team. I work out with the Lt, a Staff Sergent, and Sergent Duran. Well Sgt Duran told me last night Im going to the board around the 20th of March. I have always had a problem speaking in front of people. The board is made up of First Sergents and Sergent Majors, basically my boss's. So now that I know Im going for sure, I started studying. I have the Army study guide on my computer, and its over 200 pages. I have to study it all. So on my free time instead of blogging I will be studying. I look foward to just getting it out of the way. So Sgt Duran told me if I volnteer to come back here with 4th birgade that I would not be going to the board. So Im just going to stay state side. That pay jump is to good to pass up. Now that I have something thats prolly going to take up most of my time, I wont be missing home as much. If I pass this board I will feel like the man, life has thrown some tough shit at me, I read about peoples problems, people tell me about there problems and I just laugh and say "thats it?"I feel like I can take on the mother fucking world, the train is back on the track. Im starting to think im coming out of the tunnel in to the light.
