CH2: Telling Charlie
Charlie nodded before sitting in his chair looking up at me waiting for me to start.
"Dad I got a letter today from the Military saying that I have been drafted." I said while looking down then I handed him the letter he took it in a hast and read over it again and again before looking up at me then stood up and gave me a small hug before pulling back.
"Yeah I heard its getting bad over there in the middle east. So what branch are you going to pick?" he asked, I looked at him then thought about it for a while before answering.
"Well the Marines is out of the question and I don't want to work fulltime so that leaves me with the National Guard." I said. He smiled and hugged me close.
"Good choice Bells." He said then asked "What career are you going to chose?" he said while sitting back down putting the letter down.
"I would have to look around but I think Military Police. I already know a lot about law enforcement from you." I said half smiling, he laughed and ruffled my hair before getting up.
"Well then since you decided that why don't you come over to the office tomorrow so you can get familiar with what you are doing ok?" he asked. I nodded then got up and made Charlie Dinner, during dinner he told me I was going to be the first Swan to go into the military in our whole family. Afterwards I got on the phone then I called the Washington state Army National Guard and made an appointment for myself to go and see a recruiter.
The next day I told Ms. Newton about the draft and that I had to quit my job there. She understood and told me that her son got the same letter but told me he was seeing the recruiter today, mine was set for tomorrow.
For the rest of the day I was at dads office shadowing him as he showed me around and gave me a few simple task to do. After we got out of his work he promised me to take me shooting before I leave.
The next day I drove to Port Angels to the strip mall where the National Guard recruiting center was to meet up with my recruiter. Once I enter the building a guy in uniform walks up to me with a smile.
"Hi do you have an appointment or are you just stopping by?" he asked.
"I have an appointment with a guy name Duke." I said as I looked at the piece of paper that I wrote the info on, he smiles even bigger now.
"That's me! Come on back letting get you settled in." He said and walked over to his desk and I followed him then took a seat.
I was in there for about 2 hours just talking about the National Guard, I took a pre-ASVAB test (Got a 68), set up a time to take the real ASVAB and go to MEPS, and chose a few careers I was interested in. By the time I was done and driving home I had a few packets of information, a shirt, and my day and time to go to Seattle for MEPS.
Once home I told Charlie about my day and heat up a few slices of pizza for dinner before going upstairs and getting in bed just laying there thinking about my life.
Alright so a few new things so let me know what you think and keep an eye out for more redone chapters I love you all I see you all soon!
