August Life

So my husband took his Border Patrol exam 8/16 and on 8/23 he got his results. He passed!!! He got a total score of 102. Now we wait... The order of events is long and frustrating but I am confident he can get it done. We are waiting for a "tentative offer" which is when you send in all your paperwork, then you will be scheduled for physicals, fitness, and boards. I am excited to see how quick we get through this process and move on.

On another note, my daughter is now in a 2 day pre school program and she LOVES it. She loves that she learns new songs and letters with her friends. They even have a "kids gym" with little treadmills and ellipticals and everything else you can think of. I am so glad we decided to place her in that program.

Our journey this far....

So my husband tested for his Border Patrol written exam on August 16th. There is a wait from 2-10 weeks to get your results back so.....now we wait. We have to wait and see what his score is. If he scored above a 70 then we will move on to the next round of interviews and test, if he did not then its back to the drawing board. I am confident that he did his best and he passed. The wait is killing me, I wish they would tell you the score that day. Looking at the job market out there is not pretty. We have friends that are still trying to find jobs in the civilian world and it is not looking good.
Now that being said, Would I want my husband to re-enlist in the Army???? The answer to that is NO WAY IN HELL. With all the talk about what is going on now in Iran  I am glad that my husband and I are taking the route to leave the army.. I understand that they are pulling soldiers out of Iraq BUT some of them are turning around and going to Afganistan and one day soon will probably be going to Iran. I would not want my husband over there with all the nuclear weapons that Iran has.
I hope life starts to look up and the Border Patrol process goes on smoothly.
