So I figured I'd make this topic now since I won't be seeing the forum for the most part over the coming 6 weeks. I'm about to head off to "Warrior Forge" in Ft. Lewis Washington as the final step in my commissioning process to become an Army 2LT. I don't know if any you noticed I wasn't around as much, or even cared if you did, but I've been busy as hell preparing for all this.
So far I've got this lined up: My commissioning date is July 12th, after about a month they should have finished the evaluations, which is the point of going to Warrior Forge as there is no new training.
Assuming my evaluations are good, or if I just get lucky, I should be active duty and I should have my orders to report to Ft. Knox Kentucky for Armor BOLC (Basic Officer's Leader's Course) no later than a month or two after my evals are done, so 3 months at most I hope after my Commission date.
I also applied for a Branch detail program so my basic branch would be Military Intelligence but I would be detailed over to Armor for the first few years of my career until I hit CPT where I would then go to the Military Intelligence Career Course.
Thats the plan anyway, although I could end up anywhere for the most part, but I'm hoping my Chinese language experience, "unique" education, and maybe a change in Army policy which has been rumored will at least get me into the Intel Corps. If I don't get MI, which is what I want to be my long term career, I think I'd be happy most anywhere in the Army. I love intelligence and analysis but I love the Army just as much, so as long as I'm doing something super-hoorah Army I think I'd be happy and if not I can get out after a few years. I just hope to God I don't get stuck in the Reserves or National Guard, damn I do not want to have to go looking for a job on short notice that also runs in line with whatever bum-**** Guard unit they post me to.
But seriously I wasn't exactly the "ideal" cadet in college to say the least hehe, I'm banking a lot on that Chinese.

doesn't anybody want to wish me luck fighting werewolves....
You know what, Gray Fox? Sometimes jokes are appropriate. And sometimes they're just unnecessarily disrespectful. WiseOne is making a huge sacrifice for us. This is definitely one of these times when silly jokes aren't necessary.
Now if they were funny ..... maybe.
Ow, women on a menstrual cycle is never a nice thing to deal with one.
Also if you want a huge sacrifice try becoming a tax payer without using taxpayers money to pay for taxes. Now that is a HUGE sacrifice.

well, we would, but we don't like you, so we won't
well that is just bs.Your post is offensive on many levels, but I'm not going to report it. If a mod happens by, they can make the call on you and me both.
I will tell you this, you ungrateful little snit, I have paid more in taxes than you are likely to earn over the next decade or two. What I paid in 1998 alone probably paid for your head start program along with a few hundred thousand of your snot nosed little buddies. So don't come at me with that tax BS. I do not expect or want your thanks for what *my* family's money has given you. You do however, owe Wiseone a debt of consideration and gratitude for what he's doing for you.
Take that along with your silver bullets to hunt warewolves.
