Diets & re-enlistments

People hear the word diet and immediately assume you're fat. No one ever thinks that if you're going on a diet it's simply to cut bad shit out of your life. The word is so taboo with so much negativity.
I say that because D and I are starting a diet of sorts. It will be inspired by the Paleo diet but with some modifications. We're on day 1, so don't ask me how it's going yet!

We have also decided that I will re-enlist with the Navy. Yes, this means going back to a ship eventually. It will absolutely suck, leaving the baby and dogs and D at home. But the navy has been so good to us. We are taken care of medically and financially and I know that if I leave they will all be okay. That's what matters.

Let's say I do 20 years. Baby won't even be graduated from high school by the time I'm done which means neither will any other kids we have. I won't miss the truly important stuff. If I do 20 years, we will be covered medically, and if Baby wants to go to school in California, since he was born here, they pay for it..perhaps the only good thing about this state...

I have weighed the pros and cons, and the pros win. I think I may have found what I was destined to do, and it surprised me...but I have accepted it and I'm ready to move forward.

Until next time.
