Well World I know that it has been awhile since my last post. I cannot give you any excuses except that I have been really busy since the last time I posted anything on my Army Strong blog.
 

Since the last time I posted anything, I have had several life changing events to occur that would change my life forever. I do not remember if I mentioned it on any of my other blog posting but I decided to re enlist in the United States Army.
 

Before I started posting my story on Army Strong Stories.com when it was just starting to gain its popularity before you could actually post your own things yourself without not sending you post to the site managers first, I had about a six month period in my Army a career and my life that was really rough for me and I wanted to get out of the Army. I had made plans to advance my career and for reason that I will not get into my plans did not work out. The only thing I will say is that it was God’s and the universes’ way of making me humble. I was in Korea at the time and felt like I had no one in my corner and I was going through a lot, personally and professionally.
 

I would say that around the time that I started posting on the blog was the turning point of my career. I was coming toward the end of my enlistment and I did not want to quit the Army. Yeah I had people in positions of leadership that disappointed me and gave me a hard time, but then I had people that supported me and saw that I was actually a good Soldier, such as 1SG Allen and Sgt Barrington. Of course they told me about myself, they did that a lot, but those to NCO’s are ultimately the reason why I decided to stay in, even if I did not get a bonus or the duty station of my choice. Even if I was assigned to a unit at Fort Leavenworth, I was staying in.the Army.
 

So while I was in WLC I re enlisted, with orders to Fort Leavenworth. I was assigned to the 40th MP BN, the battalion that manned the United States Disciplinary Barracks, in other words the only maximum security prison facility in the United States Armed Forces.
 

So at the end of June 09, I left Korea, the only place that I had known for the past 2 ½ years to PCS to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas.
 

To my surprise while I was on PCS leave I found out that I left Korea with more than I came there with. I found out in July while on leave that in about 8 or so months I was going to be a mother. You would think at 28 years of age, it would be something that I would be able to deal with it. Believe me it took some coming to terms with. I knew that being a single parent was going to take some adjusting too, and I knew that the chances that me and child’s father would maintain any type of relationship other than parents outside of Korea is unlikely. Anyone that knows anything about Korea knows what I am talking about.
Well world, no one likes to read long blogs so I will continue the update on my next posting. Until next time world, STAY BLESSED.
