Congratulations, man.  Now, if you think I'm going to go around calling some butter bar "sir," you've got another thing coming. ;D

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

Well, I've got to start somewhere!

I ship for BCT on April 14th.  Starts April 20th in Fort Jackson.

OCS begins June 29th.  So if things go accordingly, I'll be a commissioned officer at the end of September.

Congrats Webbgem, I am sure your mom/dad are proud as hell of you. Welcome to the team, let me know what OCS class you will be a part of and I will get you some inside info. One of my former soldiers is an instructor there. :)

Man I have loved being an officer.  I have had more fun in the past few years than I would have in the corporate world.  The steady pay check and job security is great, but as a flyer I don't remember the last time I went in and felt like I was at 'work'.  You're going to feel a lot more fulfillment out of this decision than you would have in today's work world, I'll almost guarantee it.  Congrats and good luck!
