Today I did something I've wanted to do (and been trying to do) for a long time.

It went something like this:

I, Theodoros Nicholas Aftonomos, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the state of Georgia against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the Governor of Georgia, as well as the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

BCT is March 27th, so while you guys are having copious amounts of alcohol with each other, swapping riding stories, and figuring out what bike(s) to buy next...My old (34) ass will be face down in the muck, doing some PT each day and trying to learn to be a soldier.

I went 09S, and OCS is 01/13.

I get to keep my ATC job, do something else on the weekends.

I hope to be an Aviation Officer/IP, failing that I would elect armor or engineering.  To say that I'm excited would be the understatement of the year.

Good luck and thank you for protecting all of our lazy a**es

Congrats!  Now in Engish what is 09S?

Commissioned Officer Candidate

If he passes class, then he gets his butter bars

I got the officer part from OCS. Still does not translate O9S.

Congrats!!   

congrats and +1 on thanking you for putting your ass out there to protect my lazy one...

 

Thanks, mang. 

thank you.   

Great, just what we need another, make the beast with two backsing lieutenant. 

Thanks!

09S = contracted to head to OCS after Basic.  Since I've got some college under my belt, and I'm old (34), I thought this would be better for me.  Younger I would have chosen differently.

Hold the thanks until I get done, singing up was the easy part I'm sure.  The start of a new/additional life "chapter" is exciting.

Mouth shut, ears open, same with my mind.

Oh come on...if it wasn't for the El Tees, who else would us NCOs have to clean up after? 

Grats and thanks T!
