Commissioning

Post by Darksaga »

I was going to keep this relatively quiet and just advise people via PM's but the information has been posted on other sites so I felt it would be appropriate to report at this time.

On December 2, 2005 I recieved notification that I passed Senate Confirmation. Through the AMEDD Direct Commissioning process I have been selected to be a 2nd Lt. I will be a 70b Healthcare Administrator with a medical detachment out of Denver. I will be sworn in on December 10, 2005 at 1100.

If anyone happens to be in the area I would be honored to have you attend the ceremony. Please PM and I will provide the pertinent information.

Thanks to all on this site and Happy Holidays.

This is a lesson for deps, Rangers, ect.....good soldiers are needed in the Officers ranks...(ask Goog) and it does me proud to see a warrior take the step.
Congratulations to you, Sir. (Pastor standing at attention saluting)

I'm not the way I am because I was a Ranger - I was a Ranger because of the way I am.

Amen, not that I am the one bit religous, just my choice, I have tons of respect for those who are. But 100% on the mark on bettering yourself and bringing some well experience to the officer corps. Remember to uphold the standards taught to you and never forget who you serve, your men.
