LCpl Sara is now formally detached from her unit. After two weeks of "checking out," the cumbersome culminated with a flurry of activity. "Kindly" compelling the cooperative effort of medical, dental, and administrative staff to push clearance and obtain the always necessary signatures, today, it's official.
So of course, it's off to Havelock and Cherry Point to share the joy of 30 days liberation with friends. Sara's career as a wrench with Cryogenics and MALS26 is behind her. A newer adventure lies ahead. Perhaps after her upcoming school and training she will earn enough points in her cutting score to pick up Corporal... but, with an MOS change, so does the cutting score, so who knows. I would think that two stripes in two years would be a significant honor to achieve.
So it's off to visit friends and family for as long as Sara can feel comfortable being away from this life of hers that we experience from a distance. She walks forward with a new belt level in MCMAP, training and experience as a range coach, 14 months experience in a Marine shop work , and perhaps miraculously... No NJP's... lol!
Her Ram "made for mud" pick-up has been sold... As has been her GSXR600 black rocket of a bike!
Freedom from debt, freedom from work for 30 days... What a concept!
Good job Sara! Make a difference for good on the world around you. Pursue excellence and hate mediocrity! No... Loathe it entirely.
As you were.
We Have a new marine who is just entering his mos school of cryogenics. Enjoying your daughters journey, brought tears and smiles as I read. Wondering if she enjoyed her MOS?
ReplyDeleteIt definitely wasn't what I was looking for in a job with the Marine Corps airwing. Which is why I pursued a new job whenever I got the chance. However, I would encourage him to push forward and make the best of it. His schooling will earn him quite a few elective credits toward a degree! School was fun, the fleet is very different depending on where he will be sent. I wish him the VERY best!
