The Test is over on to life and poker...

Well I took my promotion test this last Tuesday, and to be honest I am not sure how I did. I figure if I get 1/4th of the questions that I determined "I had absolutely no fucking idea what the answer was" "I might get wrong". I will then probably make it. However if I did not get the 1/4th right then I will probably be testing for promotion again next year. So wish me luck and watch as I bite my fingernails until June when they release the results.

On to a quick life update. As most my readers know I am in the U.S. Air Force and am currently stationed in Japan. I applied to remain in Japan for an additional 4 years and had laid the odds at about 50/50 for it to be approved. Well we all know how I run at coin flips so my application to stay was denied.

Since it was denied 2009 is a year of complete uncertainty for me. First I will be waiting to see what overseas bases if any will have available for my career field( last cycle had one slot and about 1,000,000,000,000 applicants Good luck me - At least is is not a coin flip). Anyways that happens in may and if there slots that I want to compete for I will turn my preferences in Mid-May and will find out Mid June if I get to go to another overseas location. We are really rooting for Europe, but do not know have any idea if will be possible to get.

After that they will be announcing in late June whether or not I made the cut for promotion. Then in July If I did not get selected to go to an overseas base then I will be looking at the available assignments for in the Continental United States. I will then put my preferences in the system and will find out in August if I will be getting any of my preferences or if the Air Force is just going stick me where they want to stick me.

So anyway a lot of unknowns and a lot of decisions for me to make in the coming year regarding real life.

On to poker although I am just going to skim the surface for now as I will put in a end of month review in a couple days. With my test over and having some more free time I am going ot be grinding out LHE for awhile I am going to attempt to make it to goldstar by the 28th. We will see if I can do it, or if I fail miserably. Either way as long as I dont lose my roll I will be happy in the end.
