On Monday (July 14, 2015) I went back to the Denver MEPS to finish my military processing. I am now officially enlisted in the US Air Force. My ship out date is December 1st. I am terrified.
It's strange how scary it is. Part of it is just the fact that it's the military, and that's not the kind of person I ever thought I was going to be, and it's still not the person I really want to be... The scariest part about it is the fact that the next four years of my life are planned out. I'd be less scared not knowing what was gonna happen to me and just renting an apartment and scraping by on my minimum wage than I am right now, with the next four years of my life taken care of in full..

Man.. this october? that's really soon, i hope that you made the right choice for yourself by enlisting. And I hope you get what you wanted out of it, since you enlisted, it must have been for a good reason.
4 years is a long time, although you could have spent 4 years living a normal live, you get to have an experience that most don't really get. So I hope that you made peace with the decision to join the air force. And I wish you good luck with it

Good luck!

*EDIT DUE TO SHIP OUT DATE BEING PUSHED TO DECEMBER*

Woah. o-o I can never imagine anyone I know in real life, or myself, going into the military. The thought is really scary! I can't say I've been in the same boat as you, though... I wish you good luck!
