As of the 4th of March, 2008, I will be heading out from my home in Del Norte, Colorado to Fort Benning, Georgia to train as a United States Army Infantryman. My initial training will last 9 weeks. My AIT (Advanced Individual Training) will last another 5 weeks afterward. I go through one 4 to 5 day period of reception, so altogether, I'll be gone 15 weeks.

My MOS, Infantry, is not a job that was assigned to me. I asked for it. Demanded it, honestly. If I'm going to do this soldier shit, I may as well start from the bottom and work my way up.

So, for the little community that does pay attention to my page or those that know me (I thank and love you all), I bid thee farewell, God bless, and good luck for the next 15 weeks. I'll be back around mid-June or early July.

.. Too bad I can't get any pictures while I'm there..
