I will be shipping out early Nov to basic in fort jackson. I am so excited about this. I hope it is a good experience for me.
I am funny and spunky, and a pretty down to earth kind of girl. I don't like it when ppl b.s me, be straightforward and honest and upfront, is very important to me.
But I am shy when I meet new ppl at first. I am also not found of being in large crowds too. When I meet someone new for the first time, I like to sit back and watch how they act and listen to the things they say.
I love to talk and am friendly but it takes me a while to warm up to ppl. I have some serious trust issues.
Anyways my mom always tells me to speak up and say whats on my mind, just like I do when we talk and hang out with each other.
But when I way younger I liveed with my father and he hated when I would be sarcastic or put him in his place when he was being and ass. So for years I had to swallow my pride and wasn't allowed to really say what I wanted to, I got yelled at when I did.
I have been told by multiple ppl he was mentally abusive. And I want to be able to say what is on my mind without being afraid of getting in trouble and stuff like that. I am sheltered and need some life experience hopefully this will help.
Question is do you think army basic will change me for he better and ake e a tougher and stronger person that I need to be?
I a a nice girl and very respectful to others, I just want to be capeable of being as upfront with others as I a with my mom. She is in the army too and is a very tough chick. Not like me lol. thanks sry its this long btw!!!!!
