So. Today I went on base for something (I’m off today). That something didn’t happen and at this point is no longer relevant to the story I’m relaying. :D

After that, I went into the office to check my email. And…

I got my OTS class date!!!1!11!!one!limit of sin x over x as x goes to zero!!!1!1

YES! I’m (tentatively) signed up to be in training beginning 5 NOV 08. I was starting to think that this day would never come, but apparently and thankfully I was wrong. Alot of my plans for the next few months were up in the air because I didn’t have this date. Now I can plan some leave, plan my apartment stuff, plan where I’m sending all my shit, etc etc.

Unfortunately this means that I will not be able to be around for the holidays. OTS lasts 12 weeks, so this will take me all the way to early February 2009. Last year I took four days, and it seemed quite short as I didn’t have enough time to hang out with some friends back home. I am hoping to take a month off this time before I go, and it looks like I’ll be able to get a mail-in ballot sent to my parents’ home so I can even vote for our next president! GOD I’m so excited!

Anyway, for all 3-5 readers of my blog, I will probably be in town by early October or even late September. I’m going to take a real vacation, and I’ll be moving out of my apartment before I do this so I don’t even have to renew my lease agreement. Woo fucking hoo. :D

The next piece of news that I’m waiting for is… where am I going next? I put Los Angeles as my number one, Wright-Patterson in Ohio as my number two, and Hanscom in Massachusetts as number 3. As soon as I find out, you’ll find out.

Out!

Staff Sergeant, United States Air Force

Forgot to mention, I’m now a Staff Sergeant.

“Sergeant Olaes”…. that’s gonna take some getting used to. I’ve been saying it over and over in my head since yesterday when I officially became Staff Sergeant Olaes. I’m not overly excited about it. I mean, it’s cool and all being the same rank as my first supervisor in just under 4 years, but for some reason I’m just kinda like “yep, here I am, what’s next?”

So yeah, now I’m Sergeant Olaes. I’ve been thinking about “Sergeant O” though, that has a nice ring to it.

Well, I’m in trouble for being mediocre. Time to face the music…
