I'm currently in the state of New York, after flying out of my beloved Texas yesterday with my parents. Tomorrow is R-Day, Reception Day at the United States Military Academy, where I'll be processed, poked and proded by doctors, shaved by a friendly barber, yelled at and rushed by angry upperclassmen and outfitted with every bit of equipment the Army deems is necessary for the next seven weeks of Cadet Basic Training, affectionately known to the cadets as Beast Barracks. During this time, I won't have access to a computer, so until late August when training ends and the school year at West Point begins, I won't be able to log on and post.

So stay safe everyone and keep OT a rockin' place while I'm gone!
