Last weekend with no car!

Here at the Air Force Academy you cannot maintain or own a car within 150 miles of campus until your junior year. About a month ago a purchased a 2006 Saturn Vue from my Uncle Pete. It was a great deal, car is in perfect condition, and low mileage. Well yesterday, my car started making its journey to me. Uncle Bob and Pop Pop Fiddler are driving it out to me for Parents Weekend. i am so grateful.

So 4-5 more days until I don't have to ask to borrow someone's car. 4-5 days until this leadership learning lab I call college become a lot better.

Basic is over and the school year has begun

The beginning of August marks a very important time for cadets at USAFA. Whether you're a Basic just finishing up BCT or a Firstie going into your final year, no one likes coming back on July 31st to report for duty while all of our friends are still lying out on the beach. The Acceptance Day parade was yesterday and afterward I pinned on 10 different Basics that I had trained. It was neat to see how much the respected me and how much they were thankful for what I did for them. It was a great experience to have. Later that night the class of 2012 had their commitment dinner and today when we walk into our first class we are committed and owe the next seven years to our great country. There's really not much to say about that, except I'm happy to be a junior, it's a weird feeling to be committed to the Air Force, and I can't wait to get my ring in a couple months. I'm having trouble attaching pictures so just check them out on Facebook.
