James, ummm, I believe that says March, not May, and that is a Saturday I believe. anf el_riddle, I am in that class also. However, I got my letter in the mail today, and it said February 23!!! I called and the recruiter said they have March, so hopefully they are getting it fixed. I definitely could not go in February, hehe.

dude, too funny. when did you tell them? i wish i could've been a fly on the wall and seen that. did you talk about it for awhile, or did you just tell them and that was it? i am going to take advantage of a nice business trip to Chicago and then tell them when i get back, hehe. we were going to go on the trip back in November, but it was postponed, so i think i am owed the trip anyways, ya know? i'll get back to your investments email as soon as i get a chance. haven't forgot about you. oh yeah, i talked with the LT today and he said that the day is March 23, just a screw up on the letter. whew! i'd love to go in the Feb class if i had time to get everything situated here, but that's not the case. I'm taking a vacation to Vegas with some friends at the end of February, should be awesome! Vegas Baby Vegas!
Yup, they know! My direct manager just kinda looked at me. We then talked about it for a while and he was -ok- with it but in complete shock! I had to talk to the director too and his only question was "there's no negotiating this?" and I said no and he basically told me to get out of his office! Everyone else has been real supportive and congratulated me for 'following my dreams' etc...some are even jealous!
Ok man, while you're in Vegas having fun i'll be sweatin' it out in OCS!

Hi Luke:
Congrats on getting in before July!
I'm basically doing a lot of running, situps, pushups, and pullups. Couple other things in the gym. One thing I took advantage of was my company sponsord a "boot-camp" at it's rec center. We had over 20 people sign up...only about 4 of us made it! (It really wasn't difficult at all).
Unfortunatly I havn't done any swimming...i've called several places and they either arn't open during the winter or they won't let me purchase a temp pass (YMCA). I was surprised by that!
And of course...studying the gouge!

what a prick! he told you to get out of his office?? forget that piece of crap.
Luke: I was told i wouldn't be going until July either, but then I got selected for March also. I have always been somewhat of a runner, so I have been running, doing some situps (crunches), and working out. But like I said, I've always done a lot of that, except for the situp part. I am going to start memorizing the gouge soon. Talk to you all later!

hey guys,
great to hear from you. i was running with my brother's high skool cross country team, but after that ended, so did my running. quite a humbling experience at first...i was a swimmer in high skool, and never big on running, so the first couple weeks, even the girls beat me
oh well, that didn't last long.
so a bit more about myself, for what its worth...i live in the meca of college basketball, lexington, ky. its a fairly nice city and the night life is alright. i substitute teach right now, which i love truly.
well, i need to bust out of here. have a good one. peace.

el Riddle,
Congrats on your pilot acceptance! My application was sent in about two weeks ago so I'm still biting my nails waiting for a response. I put on my application that I would be ready to leave for OCS in mid March, so if I get selected there is a good chance we'll be in OCS together. Out of curiosity, how long did it take for you to get a response from the selection board? Thanks for your info, I'll get you posted as to my status.
