A bit of history

I'm starting this blog to chronicle some of my experiences through the Army Officer Candidate School. I was in the army as an enlisted solider back in the early 90's.

I decided some months ago that I needed to go back in, only this time as an Officer, a leader.

I have a wife and young son, and I am also just finishing up my MS in Computer Science so this is not something normally done by people in my situation. But it is something I feel I need to do.

I guess one can only stand by so long and watch the injustices done to the weak in some countries before you feel the need to do something about it yourself.

I am scheduled to report to the MEPS on the 17th of this month, and my class starts 10 days after that.

Right now I'm busy getting everything set up so when I leave for the next few months my wife will be able to take care of everything. Also I'm spending a lot of time trying to finish up my reading list and memorize the required knowledge for the course.
