Happy New Year

Happy New Year! Don't forget to date your checks with 2005 for the next 12 months.

To bring in the new year I have recently been notified by the Army that they have no records of me being branched into the Medical Specialist (SP) Corps. Which in short, mean I can not be a physical therapist. The good news is that the OIC (officer in charge) for placement of PTs is on the case. Major Syler is working very hard to get the paperwork changed. It has been a crazy few weeks since I've been notified and the last few days has been especially heart-racing because time is running short and everyone is on holiday. I was fortunate Thursday in that LTC Reisweber, the PMS (professor of military science) at Cornell Univ. ROTC was in his office and found the original paperwork in my file that says the I was branched into the SP corps. Monday the 3rd, it will hopefully be put to rest when that paperwork is sent to MAJ Syler. Until that time, I cross my fingers......

AND I SKI. My parents are funding a 3 day ski trip for my father, brother and me to ski at Gore/Whiteface as part of Christmas and as a last fun thing I do before the Army takes me away for a lonnnnngggg time.

That's the update. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and an awesome New Year celebration.
