Title: Going to School
Post by: Alcibiades on July 08, 2009, 12:24:17 PM
Got accepted by the Army today to go to school. 

Got this, this morning: You have been selected to receive a four year Army ROTC Green to Gold Scholarship.

I'm ecstatic,  have 17 days to be discharged, and can't start until I receive my orders over the next week.  Gonna be stressful trying to get everything done in under two weeks, but I'm still extremely happy.  On the way to the University of Illinois on the 24th.  :cheers:

Remember to treat your history instructors with every ounce of respect you have. Oh, and if you see an education major or anime freak, kick them in the crotch. (If I get everyone to do that at every university, then the chance of there being more Tim's gets more remote)

He's done more to deserve it than about 95% of the people kicking back in college. And that includes you.

I don't feel that I was entitled to go to college, I was just very very lucky that I had such a great support system.

Congrats again, Alci.
