Today I made a decision about my life that will change EVERYTHING I ever imagined for myself. I have decided that as soon as I am done with my degrees [at least bachelor's] I am going to join the army. I feel like this is my calling in life and my goal [as a psychology major] is to work with soldier's who suffer from PTSD! I am in the process of getting back into physical shape [as a matter of fact today I was able to reach all the goals to pass a woman's PT test who is my age in the army] and I just feel like maybe the Civilian route isn't the one for me. It will suck if I have to deploy and leave Caylee for a year but I'm sure she will understand when she is older. Rob supports my decision 110%. I already know who Caylee will live with if Rob and I deploy at the same time. My next step is to talk to a recruiter to ensure I get all the necessary requirements to become an officer. and I have the next 3 1/2 years to prepare myself physically and mentally- not to mention time to get my daughter ready. I am so ecstatic over this decision and I hope that everything goes smoothly =]

I think it is a fantastic idea! Congratulations on your decision! Don't let anyone tell you other than it is AWESOME! Go you, girl! I have been mulling over the same thought myself for the last few years. :) Go you, I wish you the best of luck!
The Army needs dedicated doctors like you. I think if we could find more people dedicated to helping soldiers instead of making a paycheck the world would be better.
I hope the best for you.
