Finally done with an interesting 12 weeks of Officer Candidate School. It was a bit of a challenge, but not nearly as much as I was expecting. I ended up picking Armor as my branch, so I'll have to do something about the name of this blog if I want to have any sense of legitimacy on here.
A quick side note: I actually was sad while turning in my ID card that had my NCO rank on it. I worked awfully hard to earn my stripes...
Anyways, on a very positive note, I finally was "with a dumber group of guys"(that quote is courtesy of JihadGene from my Pathfinder post on here) and managed to earn the Academic Honor Grad award for my class with the highest overall score on all written exams throughout the entire course. Not bad for someone 5 years removed from college and competing against people with Masters degrees in sciences and engineering.
So here's to hoping I have an exciting future in the Armor branch!

Way to go very LOOONG time, Sir!!! Those were some smart dumb guys you were grouped with! Congratulations and may the NCO's under you realize you were "prior enlisted" before trying to feed you a line of bravo sierra! Again, great job. FIDO!
Congratulations!!!!
I'm a friend of that notorious Loooong Time North Korean, Jihad Gene. :)
