Joining the Military
Well, you’re looking at the newest Information Technician Specialist for the US Army. Due to my job here at the college, I won’t be reporting to Columbus to start my 19 weeks of Advanced Individual training until May 31st. My recruitment officer promises me I won’t be deployed to Iraq anytime soon, as I’ll initially be in Army Reserve.
I’m really scared and excited about this new venture, but I finally took the plunge. Aaron Perkins and Vince Tyler had both been encouraging me to talk to a recruiter, and I’m glad I did. It’ll help pay off my student loans and give me valuable real-world training on computer systems.
I hope I’ll still be able to be in contact with all of you, and I’ll miss you dearly. I never thought I’d be joining the Army, but… Here I am… Pray for me as I get my house in order.
