I Think I Am On the Cusp Of A Life Changing Event

I don’t want to say what the life changing event will be. I do, but I don’t. I still have my doubts. But I filled out an application for something. I think it will be good for me. I will keep you posted as things go along.

Here is an application I filled out. I didn’t even get a confirmation. After I was done filling the application it took me back where I could click on to do the application again. I was tempted to fill out the application again. I think I will just leave it as it is for now. I am excited. This is as far as I have gone in applying to fight for Ukraine’s Foreign Legion. I believe I can anticipate hearing back on my application.

Anyways, I worked tonight. I just wanted to write a few words down to keep my audience informed. I don’t know all that is behind the conflict in Ukraine, but where there is suffering there is need- and I can defend freedom and democracy. Which is a part of the Sailor’s Creed. So, I believe I am doing the right thing. Next I need to update my passport. Save some money. Also, I need to buy some gear so they will know I am serious about going. I already told my Mom. She is against it. But this is to be expected. Moms don’t like such things.

Here is an FAQ on questions pertaining to serving with Ukraine’s Foreign Legion. You do not need a COVID vaccination to cross into Ukraine. However, a negative COVID test is required. Here is what the FAQ has to say:

DO WE NEED A VACCINE TO SERVE?

You can still join the Legion without being vaccinated (it is not required on a checkpoint with Ukraine). But they will administer the test on the Poland border if you travel from outside of the EU. People traveling from outside the European Union, from outside the Schengen area, must present a negative COVID-19 test result. Vaccination is not obligatory especially if you mention that Poland is a transit country. But people crossing the Poland-Ukraine border are not subject to mandatory quarantine upon entry due to the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine.

I was going to buy some binoculars but I am holding off, and saving for travel. But don’t worry, once I save I will buy some gear. I will also keep you updated on my travels. I still have not told my Dad about my interest in going to Ukraine. I am sure he has guessed it by now.

The FAQ also contained instructions on what is needed to travel to Ukraine in order to join the Legion. I need an ID (Drivers License) , passport, and supporting documents for my military service. So, my DD-214. I guess it would be useful to bring my ISAF medal as well.

Well, I think that is all for now. It is time to go to bed. But I am a bit restless. perhaps I will stay up for a while longer. I have no videos to share today. Just plain, ol’ boring writing. But this is how I communicate. Best. I heard from Scott again. I hadn’t heard from him in a week. I have not told Scott about my plans to travel to Ukraine. I will see when I have more definite plans.

Here is a map I got. It is about Operation Overlord, on June 6, 1944. The Allied invasion of Normandy. I thought I would include this photo here. I want to make a small collection of maps. Who knows, maybe in my travels to Ukraine, I might get to see the landing sites. It would be a sight to see. I could take pictures and send them to Mom and Dad. I bought the map from Timeline off of YouTube. I thought it might be neat to have. Whatever happens.

Well, anyways I just thought I would share a few thoughts. Time for me to move along for a while. Time to do something else. Have a nice day. I will keep you updated on my adventures.
