A long night, and a longer yesterday- Friday afternoon found me headed to Westover Air Force Base, where I was scheduled to take the ASVAB. This I did, and passed with flying colors. Actually, a 93, more than qualifying me for a couple really good assignments. I have the brain power, the drive, and the physical endurance to get through training, and after that, it'll be (I hope) a stellar career. I'm leaning towards mechanic, one of the positions I qualified for right off the bat. On Monday afternoon I'm going back in to finalize the decision, and choose a career. Now, I'm still free to back out, and pursue another career. After I agree to the terms of the Army contract, then it's no turning back.
Tonight is time to meet (again) more of the lady friend's family. I am perhaps a smidge nervous, but nonetheless, find that as I have confirmed that I am in fact one sharp cookie, I find some small measure of confidence. I place some faith in the Federales' assesment- I am no slouch. Nonetheless, life goes on, does it not? And perhaps sometimes leaves us in its peculiar wake.
I talked to my best friend today, who tells me, you need confidence and assertiveness. I tend to agree. The greatest enemy to one's own success is not limitations, but rather self-doubt. At any rate, on to charm the lady friend's relatives- of course, complete sincerity is a given- flattery is a tool of the inferior mind, recognizing the superior in all people a sign of a more sophisticated and advanced intellect. Stay well, and best wishes to everyone!
