[Atilla]

First gentlemen let me thank you for all of the amazing advice I have been receiving. As you all have helped me to evaluate the problem with effective and wise counsel. I think that per the advice I have received from many of you I will be trying as hard as I can to get either Sapper school or MWS. As you gents are aware that is easy for me to say so I will let you all know when I know for sure whether I will be lucky enough to attend anything.

In another bit of fortuitous news. Today while I was engaging in a Crossfit workout with the Major in charge of my military science course there was a new gentleman working out with us. He was motivating me while I was doing the prescribed deadlifts. Didn't ask who he was as I know things like that are always revealed with time. Later on in the day I saw him in the building again in his ACU's. Turns out this gentleman is our new XO and one of the first things I noticed was a blue arrowhead with three lighting bolts and a knife on it on his right shoulder. I thought could I really be this lucky to have an 18A QP as our new XO and so I glanced at the other shoulder and saw the expected progression of tabs. So now not only do I have all you fine gentlemen to help mentor me on my quest but quite literally one of my direct mentors has accomplished the things I am hoping to. How lucky can one guy be. Now I will sit back and wait for the opportunity to present itself for me to non-intrusively pick this man's brain as I am trying to pick all of yours. That is unless he is a member of this forum in which case I will feel embarrassed for talking about it in such a theatrical manner. Wanted to share my luck though. Thanks gents.
