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.
