Today, I received a phone call from one of my sisters back at home, and it was really good to her from her. I do not talk much to my family, besides my mom, because I guess we are all so busy. But my sister has been trying to join the Air Force for about a year now. It has been a long process for her because when she was younger she fell into a fire pit and burnt her hands up so she has had many surgery's to replace skin and give her movement in her hands. So while trying to join she had to track down all her files from the doctors and get re-cleared by them. They then had to send them to MEPS to make sure she will be cleared by the military doctors. So a year later she is finally leaving tomorrow for MEPS and I am so happy for her. She has not had the best of luck with her life and is in major dept. She wants to get out of Georgia, but has no money to move away. So she is trying hard to move forward in her life and I can't be anymore proud of her. I am stoked she is trying to join the Air Force because maybe just maybe she will get stationed here with me. How cool would that be? I know the odds are slim, but I can hope. So tomorrow as she goes off to MEPS I hope the best for her and she only hears good news. I just thought I would share with you all because I think it is an amazing thing my sister is doing, along with all the others that serve for us! : )

ReplyDeleteYou sounds so proud and it so awesome to see/read/hear that!!!
That is so wonderful!!!! I know when I was trying to join the Army I had to get a TON of documents about a metal plate in my arm that I got when I was 12.. so all my documents had already been moved to the hospitals big storage unit with a bazillion other peoples and it was the most stressful part of the entire process trying to get those papers and get them cleared.. so I kinda know how she feels. You are such a sweet sister Michel!!! :)
