As of yesterday all of the required paperwork has been completed and submitted, including my actual high school and college diplomas, official transcripts, birth certificate, and social security card. All that's left is the OCS Board interview in Oklahoma City, after which I will swear in and sign a contract. At that point I will find out when I "ship out", likely 2-4 weeks later. The interview should be in early March; I will post the date as soon as I know.

I will be working for two more weeks, through February 20th, and then will get all of my affairs in order, in preparation to leave. After the interview I plan to visit Washington if time allows.

Basic Training is 9 weeks long, Officer Candidate School is 14 weeks. At that point I will be an Officer and attend an additional school. The duration depends on the Army Branch I am assigned to. After all of this I will serve for three years to fulfill my contract.

I am very excited and hope to enjoy Army life, as I plan to make a career of it. As always I'm trusting that God is guiding me in the way I should go, opening and closing doors as needed. I will continue to walk through the open doors, giving my best effort to what is put before me. When doors close I will turn to the Lord for patience, understanding, and strength to go in the new direction He has for me, that perhaps was not in "my" plans.
