okay for the select few of you who really know me in real life, i am a 20 year old guy who is enlisted in the united stated navy. I have finally completed my training for the job i choose. however now i am realizing finally what the hell i have gotten myself into and i am so very very scared. I realized today that my squadron is out at see already and they may be carting my a** off to them as soon as the 13th of august. I really wasn't ready for this just yet. i was expecting to be able to go work on the flight line on solid ground before being sent to a ship. i know what i am doing is going to be good for my future... but will i mentally be able to cope with the idea of having almost no contact with my friends and family? Will i be able to do my job effectively? what do i have to do to prepare myself to get so far away from my family? god i am such a mess... I can't even sleep right now i am so ******** stressed out about this.
