<p>First, take deep breaths. It is scary, but you just need to believe it will work out. Not to be preachy, but after being with Bullet for 20+ yrs(this includes college) we have seen our world turn upside down in a few seconds, and as soon as we have our bearings it turns right side up again. You just need to believe in yourself and understand the military career is the best roller coaster ride you will ever have.</p>
<p>Second, get yourself into a college, preferably one with AFROTC, this way you can get your commander to support you. Believe it or not many det commanders are thrilled to have one of their own transfer to the AFA, it is motivation for all of the cadets.</p>
<p>Third, I question the help “find myself” and make my decision on coming back. Only you can decide if the AFA is the right fit for you or if the AF is the road you should travel. There is nothing wrong with you, if you say I want to go another route for my commission. I’ve been there checked the box, and now I see that I would enjoy AFROTC better. There is also nothing wrong in saying after 3 weeks I realize I don’t want to live this life for the next 9 yrs. </p>
<p>You will grow in maturity this yr, and will be a different person next year. For right now get yourself healthy, get into school, start the process to return. Believe me tomorrow will be a better day.</p>
