Basic Military Training. The words themselves meant little to me, but the idea of the experience behind them presented another challenge for me to test myself on. Rigor, stress, high demands...what more could a challenge offer? Eight and a half weeks flashed before my eyes faster than time in a warp, and now, close to a month post-graduation, here I am: a student of the Weather trade and an active duty member of the United States Air Force. I am excited, for there are many adventures yet to be had and many places to see as I continue this journey. I hope to place my best foot forward, for a stumble now would only hinder what I hope to accomplish.
