Yes, same person!
I agree. I am not sure how Supply compares to SWO, but I would expect being a SWO involves a lot more learning on the job than Supply. I could be wrong, so anyone feel free to correct me on that.
That being said, I am waiting to hear back from the Supply board, and in the meantime I have done a lot of reading on SWO life. At this point I am fully hoping I DON'T get picked up for Supply. I think I'd like being a SWO much more.
Anyway, as a SWO I'd have a lot going on, deployed or not, so that I'd be far too busy, rather than sitting at home...waiting. And he has already been through 2 WESTPAC tours himself, so if I'm gone and he's not, he knows what to expect. He's been there, done that. So yeah, I don't think it will be so bad. Just hoping he won't be gone before I finish OCS...and his company commander is pretty certain they won't be leaving till after the first of January anyway. I better be done with OCS long before then!
