a new dawn, a new plan

Good evening ladies and gents.


sorry it's been a while friends, but between work, the RAF, Drunkenness and my own mind running around like an untamed bull elephant in the mating season, I haven’t really found the time. But here you go, here's another post, so don't give up on me yet, please...

I would like to start this with a clarification. Yes, I am posting a blog on valentine’s day, but this is not going to be some sob story, nor will it be a 'I love so-in-so' post. Only one year of my life have I ever given two shits about this day and that is not this year. So all those preparing to vomit over a soppy story, sickbags away people. I just thought you chaps may simply wish to know what is going down in the world of the Willis.

First of all, i have begun to push the story mentioned in my last blog into full swing and it now has it's own wiki thanks to my good friend Hamlyn (http://tobeginend.wikia.com/wiki/To_Begin,_End_Wiki) so if you would like to know some of the basics, please read.
Work is Generally going very well. I have mastered many of the aspects and have begun to assume a fair amount of responsibility in the workplace having now taken on full time employment. This does result in a rather healthy pay check at the end of every month, so it certainly keeps me happy ^-^.

But possibly the biggest event in recent month is the failure of my RAF aptitude test, shooting down my typhoon dreams. But at the same time I’m not to upset at the moment. Though i was upset at the time, i find myself bought back to a very old quote, one that was said to me by a fellow candidate who also unfortunatly did not pass. I of course refer to 'everything happens for a reason'. I have recently been looking into the infantry. This would allow me to train as a sniper and actually lead soldiers out in the field, which is what I really wish to do as an officer in her majesty's armed forces. Ok, I will admit it's rather more dangerous, but might as well live a little eh?

Anyways, that’s what's 'going down' so to speak. Until next time
