Heading to school...

I'm off to ANCOC in a few weeks... still kind of bummed about not picking up the first month, but at least I'm on there. Number 5 on the promotion list is nothing to whine about -- that won't stop me, of course -- and as long as I'm pinning by 1 March I'll be happy. I want to show up at Drill School as a SFC -- I pray that might lighten the blow a little! Probably not, though...

Anyway, I had a nice holiday season -- I hope you did as well -- I worked some decent hours at XM Radio (my side gig) over New Year's. That's another crappy part about having to leave the area. I'm enjoying my time over there -- the hours I work aren't the best (6 AM to 2 PM Saturday and Sunday) but the experience is incredible. There are some awesome people there and the environment is just the best. I know I'm gonna be looking there for a retirement gig after the big Army party has called it a day.
