DG's Journal: It's Done!!

Back from AOC, two weeks of staffwork hell.

1. 0800 hrs to midnight every day:
              a. memos;
              b. messages;
              c. NPF audits;
              d. unit training plans;
              e. tactical and non-tactical exercise instructions;
              f. road move orders;
              g. PERs/PDRs;
              h. ethics; and
              i. military law.

And much more besides.

Imagine doing an MBA with three months of home study and two weeks of non-stop instruction, and you've got the concept.

But now it is done. Finished. Finito. And Yours Truly placed second out of 16 students, which is not bad all around.

Now I is a fully-qualified Staff Weenie... which is nothing to be proud of (I vastly prefer command positions) but at least that ticket is punched and I'm qualified Captain.

Wheee!

DG

Congratulations

[StalinsNotDead]

I'm qualified Captain

Does that mean you're a captain now? Or just that you are eligible to become one soon?

Regardless, I think congratulations are in order.

Eligible.

Thanks to my mid-career retirement break, I'm not exactly sure what my official time in rank really is, so I don't know when my promotion eligibility date is.

But I'm now qualified with all the requisite courses, so once I hit the time in rank value, I'll get promoted Captain.

Thanks for the congrats.

DG

Congrats also from me on getting closer to that second stripe, Mr. Not-Quite-Captain-SIR! :-)

Cheers,

Ethelred

Good Job

I remember reading your reasons for have your staff-ticket punched and I was greatly impressed. I like to think that most of our military are folks like you.

Good job!
