In the last month my cougar caught on fire, I hit a deer and totaled my Explorer, and I got layed off.:punchballs:
But I was able to fix the cougar (burnt up ignation switch) and today I found out that my wife is pregnant with our second kid.;) It's bad timing but I'll make it happen. I might join the army. I know the service sucks for a family man but hopefully they'll understand that I have to do what I have to do to provide for my family.
I was military.It was good to me. Yes,it can be very hard on a family. I went to the Persian Gulf for 14 months. Not a great time in my life,but, Uncle Sam said to go. I'd go Army or Air Force. Get an education and let the U.S pay for it. You might like it and want to make a career of it. No telling,but like you said,you have to take care of the family.
Ya, Im 26, it's time to figure out what I have to do to make something of myself. The electrically field has'nt been very promising.
family first, you've gotta do what you've gotta do.. a good career oppertunity right now is getting your CDL and driving a truck.. IF the state will pay for your training and test.. here in jersey they do if you're on unemployment.. my shop partner did it so he had a backup plan.. he's thinking about getting a job for a local company that pays 60k a year starting
More good news. I took my GED assessment test today and scored very well. I was told that I did'nt have to take any refresher classes and that they would pay for me to take the GED test.
Will I decided to go and take some refresher classes. Im gonna take the test after the holidays. I desided to go for three weeks and the holiday brake just happen to brake two weeks into my refresher classes now I have to wait three more weeks. :bs: That sucks.
We went to the doctor yesterday, our due date is July 21 2011. :headbang:
Congrats Buddy :D
Thank you.
Very welcome, our little one will be 10 weeks old tomorrow :D
Awesome! Congrats. Is he/she your first?
We have a three year old boy.
July is a good time to have the baby.That gives you some time to get things in order.Congrats.
Congrats and good luck man. Military life is tough, but any sacrifice you make for your family is worth it. The commercial truck driving field is tough right now, at least in PA. Most places wont hire without 2yrs of experience due to so many out of work drivers. The employers can pick the cream of the crop so to speak.
Congrats man, me and my girl have been trying for a lil one too maybe one day.
Just a little update. My GED is going very well. I just took the last test yesterday. So far I have an 800 in Reading, a 730 in Social Studies, a 680 in Science, and a 530 in Math. I might have a score on my writing test tomorrow. You have to have at least a 2250 to pass the GED and so far I have a 2740. A friend of mine is a Captain in the navy, he is going to write me a letter of recommendation. I hope that and testing well on my GED will help me join the Army.
Congrats on both the baby and the GED! That's great man I hope everything works out for you.
Thank you. I got the score for my writing test today. I got a 560 on it. I'm done!
My final total score is 3300. That's 1100 points over the the min.
she is our second, she will be 4 months tomorrow :D our first one is 3 years old and is also a girl
Cool. My son just turned three in Jan. My wife will be 15 weeks tomorrow. We're hopeing for a girl.
I got my diploma yesterday! Im going to talked to a recruiter on moday. Wish me luck. This unemployment is making me sick! If I cant find a good job than how am I going to be able to afford to take care of a family?
I wish you luck, make sure if you do sign up you choose a career that you can use. Any sort of mechanical job would be good in the service or out, if you choose infantry there isnt a whole lot you can really do with that.
I already have a ASE machinist certification. Im hopeing that I can use it in the Army. Maybe I'll be able to start out higher after basic.
Congrats man!! That's a huge step in the right direction!
Thank you everyone. I hope to make a good life for my budding family. It's time to shiznit or get off the pot.
