So much for consistency

Apparently, I mentioned in my last post that I was going to try and write something every week. Didn't happen. It's been a busy summer, and somewhat exciting in some regards. I spent three weeks in Hawaii (on assignment with the Navy). I really enjoyed many aspects of that assignment. I liked most of the people I worked with; I liked my shifts, and the time off; and I mostly liked my job. I was home for a week, and then off to Korea for two and a half weeks (once again, on assignment with the Navy). I did not enjoy most aspects of that assignment. I liked a couple of the people I worked with; my berthing (billeting, for you Army types) situation and my shifts left a lot to be desired; and I sort of liked my job. (If for some reason, you seek specifics or details, feel free to ask; of course, that would imply that someone is actually reading this.)

I wrapped up all my paperwork for my Navy Chaplain package, and then was told that there was more. I am trying now to meet an Oct. 20th deadline to have all my paperwork looked at in November. I have completed all the things I need to do, and even a few things that others are supposed to do. The three final things that I know of are:

1. the paperwork on the interview I did on Friday, which is supposedly in process,


2. the Conditional Release, which is supposedly in process as well, lost at BUPERS,


3. and my CO's recommendation, which I just wrote and is now signed and just needs to be delivered to the recruiter's office.

I am losing faith that it will all happen by this Wednesday. I guess there's always next month, which delays everything else, including and most importantly, my paycheck. I guess I won't get one of those for several months still.
