9 weeks!!!

OMG! I just glanced at the date and did a bit of math and discovered that I have only nine weeks until COT! There is still so much to do and I need to continue to make strides on my fitness and there needs to be about 10 pounds shed.

Nine weeks! Wow! It gets closer every time I turn around. I have been reading blogs and online forums regarding COT and have taken the suggestions I have found on what to take. Along the way I have been purchasing several items people have suggested and it gets expensive after buying this and that and then more of those.

I have yet to even figure out how I am going to pay for uniforms. The online sits states $1500, but I have been told to look closer to $2500 especially since I will be required to buy the seasonal gear and the mess dress. Money I do not have at the moment.

I am not even sure which base I will go to to pick up uniforms. I understand you need to be fitted and they will require alterations. Sounds like a lengthy process, but I have also been told to do this before COT.

So maybe later this month or early next month I will look into charging up a credit card and getting yet another expense out of the way.

I sure seem to be spending loads of money to obtain a position that does not pay all that much. What is wrong with me?
