Editing and Me
September 6th, 2009 Doug Posted in General Site Updates | 1 Comment »
Hello all,
I’ve begun to go through and clean up the entries, so the errors throughout should slowly but surely start to disappear. I plan to continue doing this until I’ve gone through them all, as well as adding to the FAQ and other things. I’ve also got it in mind to try to write some sort of guide for preparing for OCS, including what to bring, what not to bring, what to buy at Fort Benning, when to buy it, etc. Don’t hold your breath for it though: I’ll post it when I’m done. 
I also added a Google advertisement bar to the right. The goal is simply to pay site costs: anything extra will go to the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. I’m not looking to make anything off this site: your friendly comments are payment enough.
As far as myself, I am in the National Guard, so I am back home and have resumed my civilian job. We were usually busy at OCS, but never underestimate the amount of time that a job and family take. I almost feel busier back here! ‘They’ always say that a deployment is harder on the spouse than on on the soldier: having been deployed and gone for schools, take it from me, it is true.
More to come.

Doug, I stumbled upon your journal while looking for info about OCS graduation formal. My husband is currently at Fort Benning in OCS. I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your honesty in your journal entries. Congratulations on completing the program and receiving your promotion. Of course having a journal online makes it public to people you may not know, so I am saying thank you and congratulations from others you have read this too and have gained knowledge and enjoyed your entries. Good luck in your career.
