After two years of hard work, sacrifice, and much working out, I was awarded an enrollment allocation to head off to field training this summer. I will get to spend 28 days between Maxwell AFB and Camp Shelby being evaluated on my ability to lead in stressful and non-stressful situations (though, I doubt those exist). At any rate, both Jentry and I are extremely excited. Last year, after working off 45 pounds and attempting to manage my time with school, ROTC, and my wife, I wasn't selected. It was unbelievably hard. I had spent so much time preparing and working towards getting an EA.
At any rate, now I'm waiting for my DODMERB to be certified and to find out which FTU I'm going to, then I'm off. It will be an exciting adventure. Am I nervous, yes. Am I excited, Yes. Will it be awesome, lets hope so.
Key: USAF ROTC FTU = United States Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corp Field Training Unit
DODMERB = Department of Defense Medical Examination Review Board
