I will be away for the next 7 days conducting some Military Training for my Officer Candidate School. We are completing our Phase II cycle and I will be in the field pretty much all week. After this week, we return, have one month to prepare then ship out to our final leg Phase III at Ft Lewis, WA.

Everything is looking pretty well and in the clear with completing the program and with honors as well. So, pending any major injury where I will have to be taken out of the program, I'm looking at a graduation and Commissioning ceremony on August 20th, 2011.

I have already been to my new unit and introduced myself to the staff. I can't do anything official with them yet since I haven't been commissioned, but they will be waiting for me when I finish up things.

So take care everyone, I'll be back by next weekend. Any messages left for me will be unanswered until then.
