This Wednesday was our class's Service Assignment night.  That means it was time for us to find out what we're going to be doing after graduation and commissioning.  It was surely an exciting night for all the firsties.  We all gathered in the Wardroom after lunch, and LT and Senior Chief passed our certificates with our service assignments on them.  We even got Tristan on the phone from China, and Brad on the phone from the airfield to let them know what theirs was.  

In the end, only eight people in our company didn't get their first choice for service selection.  That includes the two people who ended up getting subs earlier in the semester.  We also had twelve of the thirteen people who requested Marine Corps get it, and three of the three people who tried for SEALs get it.  That's ridiculous, by the way.  Our company is very motivated.  LT even made a note of that when we went out after our dinner.  He was very proud of us, I think.  It was fun going out that night, and I really enjoyed being with all of my company and celebrating each other and what we were doing and just having a good time overall.

It's real now.  We're in the home stretch, heading for the fleet.  It's exciting, and intimidating, and crazy, and all kinds of emotions wrapped up all together inside me.  I can't wait to see what's in store for us.

By the way, I'm going to be a Marine Corps pilot.
