Well....let's examine this for just a moment. You just turned 18, you are a CFI, and by all probablility...a complete geek. Celebrate! You didn't get pregnant, kill anyone, or wind up in jail. For our generation, you are way ahead of the power curve. Go to college, meet lots of girls, and have fun with your life. Make tons of friends! You have done a great thing and I am very proud of you. To say the least. As an "old" freight dog out here in the South Pacific, I am going to drink your first legal beer for you (and advise that you wait until you turn 21 to enjoy the same) and hoist another simply for the fact that there are still motivated people out there that know what they want. Congrats my friend.

P.S. If you meet a girl that wants you to move to Southern California, resist the urge...it will only lead to heartbreak. Good job, Airman. Now, report to Great Lakes ASAP and start complaining.
