Graduation and Commissioning!

Well, I just had the biggest day of my life so far. Graduated with a degree in Metallurgy and commissioned as a 2LT in the Field Artillery this afternoon. First stop Lawton, OK then to Alaska! The lady in the picture is my fiancee, the wedding is coming very soon too...All of this hasn't really hit me yet.

Congrats!! You have a lot to be proud of-- good job!

I don't know whether I'm more impressed by the commission or the Metallurgy Degree.

Good work, LT.

Congratulations! Listen to your Sergeants and don't let anybody send you after a cannon report.

Thanks to everyone! I know Metallurgy doesn't really match my career choice, but I had to get some degree and I loved doing that, so well see how it comes in later, but I am happy to have no metallurgy for quite a while and focus completely on the Army.
