Milestone passed: Commissioning, appointment to 2nd Lt, USAF

Wow.

Where do I begin?  Last post was of “TD-14″, i.e. Training Day 14… pretty early on in the program.  Today I’m writing as a brand spankin’ new Second Lieutenant… I graduated from OTS today.

I think the one thing I’ve been thinking of can be summed up by one word: “next”.  What’s next?  What do I want to do next?  Here are my goals for the future as they are now:

Short-term, i.e. objectives to knock out ASAP:

  • Learn a new spoken language (as opposed to computer language)
  • Restart violin or start fiddle lessons… it’s the same instrument but different styles of playing.  I think.
  • Go to comedy clubs, be social.
  • Take swing dance and/or ballroom dance lessons

Long-term goals:

  • Position myself so that I get to develop UAV technology at some point in my career
  • Increase my effectiveness as an officer & leader

As this changes, I’ll be writing it down so that I can put my thoughts into words.

Well that’s all I got for now.  It’s been a long day and all with graduation and all, so now it’s time for a little warcraft, then a little bed.

Good nacht.
