From Senior Airman To Civilian In One Day
12 years ago
General
Ladies and gentlemen I have big news for you:
As of 1130 this morning on February 26, 2014 I no longer work for the US Air Force.
Yes that is right folks. I got my separation orders yesterday morning sometime I cant remember. I was pulled out of a separation class early I was trying to take to hopefully prepare myself for the coming separation. Learn what I could in the class and find out anything new that could help me better myself in the future. Unfortunately I only got to stay one day and a few hrs Tuesday. Its a 5 day class. Its a short notice separation so they dont care about you much when that happens. They literally want you out the door either the same day or the next day. Plain and simple. So I am gonna be in the area of Valdosta, GA for about another month as I wait to prepare myself with moving on with my new life as a civilian with me and Andy looking for a new residence down in Sarasota, FL with Arc Wolfster and his mate, Sirius. Dont worry about us too much guys. The AF was kind enough to make the separation honorable which means I get a nice alternate colored ID card with it being good for 2 yrs so I can use the Base Exchange (or BX for short) along with the base Commissary plus 6 months of medical care on a military base after that I am on my own. So gonna be studying, reading and learning all I can about resumes and interviews as well. There are books and resources I can use to help me in this endeavor. Andy on the other hand is gonna be working for a bit as he still has a job.
But you guys are probably thinking who is Andy? What about your finances? How are you guys gonna stay financially stable and alive if only one of you is working a minimum wage job? I shall answer all these for you guys. First,
redx is Andy and he is my boyfriend. Yes I am taken and I plan to keep it this way. I shall explain on a later journal how did this happen after we broke up a few months ago. Second, the air force is gonna be paying me....a LOT of money. I will not say how much nor should you ask me how much. Dont even come to me with your financial issues or mistakes or even stupid plans to try and con me to help you pay for art, games, etc. If you do I will gladly block you. Andy is the brains when it comes to money. We need this money for our future so no more new artwork from me as we need this money to live BUUUTTT we do have money saved to go to FWA and that part WILL happen to make me forget all this drama going on with me. Third and final thing, is our finances. Especially with Andy still having to work. We still need the paycheck and extra tip money he is getting to help us along as we search for a new place and new jobs to start our lives down there.
If I didnt cover all your inquiries please give me a heads up. I am friendly to approach but dont expect my Skype so soon if I just meet you. I wont be on tonight on Skype. You can note me here or wait till tomorrow perhaps. So civilian world here I come...

Now onto this new chapter of life. The mentioning of moolah and stuff- good man, good man. There are enough moochers and beggars in the world. Freedom isn't free, as money is a gateway of freedom to a spectrum of things, but will never buy one's inner happiness. But anyway, I know you can do things post-army life. :3

So far it hasnt been easy man. Far from it its been hard really. I am glad to no longer be filled with stress from work but this brave new civilian world both scares and worries me if I can pull thru it.
