Yesterday was my first day of Military Science and the real start to the ROTC program. It was mainly just a chance to go over a little bit of what we will be doing this first quarter, and a chance to meet Captain Donald who teaches the MSIs. Captain Donald seems like a really great guy who has been in the military longer than most of my class has been alive. He went over a little bit of his time in the MPs, everywhere from Fort Hood Texas to Afghanistan. It will be an interesting and exciting first year as Captain Donald is really trying to change the course work for the MSIs, getting us out of the classroom even more, and doing things that will be useful to us as officers. I have PT starting monday morning at 0630, the real challenge will be getting out of bed, but I figure if I make it out of bed, and across campus, the battle is already halfway won. Also, on Tuesday is our first lab, meaning I get to don the BDUs, shine up the boots, and finally get my hands dirty. I look forward to it.
