The paperwork has gone forward... FINALLY! We had drill this weekend, and the commander had told me that he wanted to wait til this drill to do it because he wanted it to be more than a two line statement. He then proceeded to try to give me the 5304 counseling... the Family Care Plan one, not the General Counseling. When he was told he had to use the general one, he proceeded to tell me to go type it up myself - this is what he was already supposed to have typed up, that is why we waited a month! - and to meet with him at the same time he met with my boss. Geez, if he was going to do that, I would have just typed it up myself LAST MONTH and had him sign it before the end of the day. EERRRR!!
I also had a PT test. It was supposed to be Saturday morning, but lo and behold, as we were standing in formation, they start calling off names to fall out to another classroom - which I notice says... "Holding area". Fiszzznit, Piss Test. I hate those. Gotta drop trouse so someone else can watch me pee in a cup... and all over my hand. Plus... I pee as soon as I get up, I don't hold it. Which means, when I get to work... MY BLADDER IS EMPTY!! EERRR!! So I have to sit here in my pt uniform, sucking down water, making my stomach hurt from drinking so much so fast, when I was supposed to be taking a PT test in ten minutes. Needless to say, I didn't take it that day, the water finally worked its way out of my stomach and into my bladder, I finally humiliated myself, and finally got to go home, shower and change. Next day, I finally take the APFT, pass the push-ups, fail the sit ups - miserably, do the two mile run - fail again, however, instead of failing by 4-5 minutes, I failed by less than two minutes, more like a minute thirty five. Not that I really care at this point, given that I am getting out of the Army hopefully in two months or so. But with my history of failing the APFT, I really want to get myself back into shape so that I would be able to pass it at anytime, not to mention the benefits of being skinny again and healthy, and maybe back in shape enough to run the Army Ten-Miler.
The hopeful date of discharge at this point is 6 June 2008, so I got 56 days to go if I get it. The countdown has begun!

wow, you're getting out! I have three years before I have that option. What are your plans now? Where are you moving to?
Well, it is an early discharge, not an ETS, and not completely voluntary. I am moving down to Ft. Stewart, GA, where my ex husband is stationed, he is going to help me while I get situated as a civilian. Once I have things figured out with a new Family Care Plan, I can come back in to the reserves with a waiver.
