This was my last summer. Next summer is gonna be training for the most of it, as far as I know, then off to a unit, then deployment.


Army? Marines? Navy? AirForce? and best of luck which ever branch you are in hope to see you still around posting


Army ROTC. I am off to become the worlds greatest lieutenant, and win at least 34 medals of honor.

Anyway, I'm back in school, now, so... supergay.

I'm really excited. I've got all new clothes and a redone room too. I think I'll do really well this year, I have two spares and am taking basically all history classes, no more math science or tech for me. Oh, and this will be grade 12 for me, amazing to think I started at this forums in grade 8.

I started the summer before 6th, I was 12.

Doing the full International Baccalaureate program. This is it, if I can do this, I can effectively say the whole highschool system is pussy. So far every step of the way they have told me "this is reaaly hard, you are going to have to work suuper hard, you better not take to many of these honors classes" and it has always discouraged me. But I took their little honors and AP classes and I have not gotten a single B in highschool. And I didn't cheat, unlike 25% of my classmates.

I have no uni this year. Well that's not strictly true as I'm doing a work placement at AstraZeneca pharmaceuticals. I'm doing process chemistry for a year (basically I'm synthesising drugs). I've also got a wee bit of online coursework to do as well.

So no more buggering off to the pub after lunch because I don't have any lectures! I'm going to miss Glasgow a little but I'm looking forward to staying somewhere new and meeting a new bunch of people. Plus I get to play with chemicals and get paid for it!

When you get into active duty, don't be a dick. 2nd LT's usually suck and nobody likes them, so when you pull KP duty, pitch in and help the guys out, don't just bark orders and act all high and mighty. You'll definitely want to get on your 1st Sgt's good side, they hate ROTC officers worst than anything else.

First year university, w00t.
I don't think it'll be an easy adjust for me, I forced this change on me but I don't adjust well to change. I'm in a new city and for the first time in my life I need to rely on the bus to take me places, not every place is within walking distance. I need to meet new people but I'm not the most social. It's weird.

No worries, I've been taught to not be a dick by my PMSs and army cadre. Besides, I'm from a school that has a pretty solid reputation with the Army proper.

I've been out of college since 2004. I still have nightmares where I accidentally miss a class and sometimes wake up in the mornings in a panic thinking I have a paper due.

Heh. Those never go away. I had one a few nights ago, and I've been out of school for over 20 years.

Got a 98% on my first quiz in Advanced Computer Diagnostics this last Wednesday.

Making network cables is a pain in the butt. Not saying it was really difficult or anything, I'd done it once before, but it's just a pain. Good, useful skill to know though.

It is the frank & cynical recognition of the inevitable limitations of people in general which makes me absolutely indifferent instead of actively hostile toward mankind.
