MIDN 1/C Alexander Petit Battalion Operations Officer Southern University NROT

Pretty fancy huh? I mean look at it... There is nearly a dozen words in that title... Don't tell me you're not impressed. All those abbreviations and acronyms, not to mention all of the words are capitalized. It's a lot to take in I know but the funny thing is... It don't mean diddly freaking squat.

Yeah I said it... It means nothing. Well not nothing, it just means I have a lot of work to do this summer and upcoming semester. Like a lot of work... No I don't think you are hearing me... A LOT of work. To get an idea take the number 4 and multiply it times the number of times you blinked this year... That is how much work I have to do.

So you may be asking yourself... Why are you writing this incredibly meaningless blog if you have so much work to do?

I don't know.

You know, it kind of scares me too, failure that is. I've done a lot of work in the past which has been recognized and all but seemingly just as often I do something stupid to offset my accomplishments, but that is another story. I am afraid of walking into the office of a certain Marine Corps Captain, and admitting defeat to a completely overcome-able obstacle. The funny thing is that I am able to do everything to prevent these mishaps, speed bumps, and set backs... I just don't sometimes for reasons I am slowly starting to see.

And the more I see the more I like. I'm going to be an officer in the United States Navy in less that 365 days.

It's time to nut up or shut up.

And I'm not shutting up.
