The end of a great ROTC career...

  So, the day finally came when I was told what my future will and will not hold.  As for what it will not hold is that of being an officer in the Air Force, at least through ROTC.  I am still kind of toying with the idea of finding a guard or reserve unit in need of a Public Affairs Officer who could hire me on and sponsor me for a slot to OTS.  However, I can't really pursue that course until I graduate. So, in the mean time, this is what my future does hold.
  School!  Work!  and whatever else is thrown at me.  I am pursuing better health with a renewed effort due to all of this.  I want to lose about 10 lbs or so by Christmas and also train for a half marathon for next spring.  Also, I need to do ridiculously awesome in school for the next several semesters to raise my currently decent gpa.  Gratefully I have a wonderful wife who supports me in whatever I do so long as it makes me happy, and is also a good decision for myself and us as well.
  So, in light of all this, I'm now in the process of trying to register for fall semester classes to pursue a minor in Management.  I have tried to align everything so I can graduate in three semesters, but, depending on how school goes and some other opportunities, it might be four.  Oh well, we will just have to see.
