So its been three months since my selection and about a month and a half after I completed all my active duty instructions...still waiting for a class date! I hope to hear about a class date so I can start planning my life! I want to take some leave with my fam bam, but don't want to miss hit with a class date during that time frame. There's another class date this month and I am almost positive that I won't get in that class; nor do I want to as I did not purchase any new uniform items yet. I honestly hope for the 4 January class date. The mid-January class date would be also be nice; however, I don't feel like dealing with both OTS staff and upper-class members. Just don't feel like being yelled at by some 20 something year old a week and a half ahead of me, no time in service and screaming for me to do the Airmans creed, core values, or how to hold my book (formerly the Talon?). oh well, just would have to deal with it :)
I have been busy with helping other hopefuls since I was selected. To date I have assisted 65 other applicants with their BOT package; conducted 4 classes of OTS 101 courses, and even shared my two cents over the Facebook 1701 groups. It is a very rewarding experience helping people out and knowing that you truly helped with with a stressful ordeal. I love being able to assist people and feeling truly appreciated. I hope these individuals get selected so that they can experience assisting someone achieve their dreams of earning a commission.
I noticed that my blog has been viewed about 1.6K times. I think its actually a pretty good hit when I don't compare it to other blog sites :). I also notice there were a lot of stupid silly grammatical errors and I sincerely apologize for that. I honestly just through my thoughts down into this digital blog world without actually reviewing its content until recently. I plan to go through round 2 of my revision and do my best to fix those grammar errors. Trust me when I say the content itself is solid though!
I also find it puzzling to know that this blog has been viewed that many times yet no one comments or ask questions. Hopefully this means all your questions have been answered and there is absolutely no need to ask!
Anyway, hopefully you are all doing well! Streamline those application packages soon because your 19 September deadline is fast approaching. Let me know if you have any questions and again, GOOD LUCK!
