As it turns out, what we plan on for our lives and what actually happens are two drastically different scenarios. When we first heard Lieutenant got the RPA slot, we thought that it was destiny. We thought that we'd get through it with no problem, put Las Vegas as our first choice and be back home again.
But then IFS came around. It pushed him around and pulled him in so many different directions that he realized this was not the right choice. This was not destiny after all.
So after we both cried and I stressed out and he got sicker to his stomach, we know that right now what we need is each other. We have to figure out how to get through this as a team.
It is debilitating not knowing what is going to come next. It is scary and painful and heartbreaking. But if any progress it to be made of this, it has to be done by the both of us.
Now, I'm waiting for his call...waiting until he makes the drive back and we can figure out how to pick up the pieces.

ReplyDeleteIFS is Inital Flight Screening to test the mental and physical abilities needed to be a pilot.
ReplyDeleteMy fiance just went through IFS, and he had two people in his class drop out, and two other people fail out. Either way, they reclassed all four of them into different (and in some case better) jobs! I know they tell him that there's a chance they'll drop him, but its a REALLY SLIM chance. Hold your head up dear...you and LT will make it through this. Everything happens for a reason.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to get in touch with me if you need to talk anything out, okay? :)
Oh Tanya, what a stressful time! I will keep you in my prayers.
