 | Not even close |  | Saturday, May 19th, 2012 - 10:39am |
I test for my next promotion back in February and I found out my results on May 17th. I thought that I would either make it or miss it by a close margin, and I was about 60/40 in thinking that I made it. Well, I didn't make it, and I wasn't even close. I missed it by 5 points last year, and by 27.5 points this year. I bombed the test worse than I've ever bombed a test before. I don't know why - I studied more this year than last. This will definitely increase my motivation to study even more next year, though. 3rd time is the charm, right?

 A couple weeks ago, a guy I work with, Brian Olesky, suggested that we get a team together and run the Marine Mud Challenge on May 12th. The Marine Mud Challenge is a 5 mile race w

So, it looks like I am not going to the Air Force Institute of Technology this year after all. In a way I am surprised, and in a way I am not. It is disappointing, that is for sure. The early thought is to give it a try again next year in I make MSgt in May. If not, then it looks like I will start a Masters program in my spare time sometime soon, probably in the fall. Looks like we staying in Georgia for at least the next 16 months.

Well, the time we were supposed to find out about moving to Ohio has come and gone and still we don't know. Some research has revealed this is not unusual. So, we continue to wait and basically do nothing to prepare for our future, since we will do completely different things if we are going to Ohio in 6 months then if we were to stay here for likely a couple more years yet.
In other news, I just ran a 10k with my best time ever - 1:05:06. Kelley is visiting the family in Ohio. Both of our work situations are fairly crazy right now, but hopefully they will calm down soon. We may make a trip to Colorado for more family visiting soon. Not long after that, a trip to Cedar Point is possible. All in all, it is shaping up to be an eventful spring and summer!

Any day now we should know more about what our future holds. Are we going to move to Ohio in September, or stay here for likely another couple years or more? I honestly have no idea which way it is going to go, nor which way would be best for us. We are just trusting that God will work out what is best for us.
In other news, Kelley's job is going well, but she is working a ton! Good for the bank account, though. I test for Master Sergeant (E-7) on March 7th. If I make it I'll get promoted in about a year, maybe a few months longer. I'll find out results on that in May. I am moving into a new building at work in a couple weeks. Looking forward to it - the new building is much nicer - go figure!
