News from the front (AKA my life as a grown up)

Post by AC Garfield »

It's hard to belive I've been gone from AC for 18 months now. Especially since I spent the better part of 5 years as a counselor at AC and the other programs. Since getting my degree I've become a counselor at a residential treatment center for adolescent males with sexual & behavioral disorders (otherwise it's quite different than AC :lol: I miss getting to play army on a daily basis... If only AC had health insurance. Rumor has it that there maybe a little Garfield running around soon (say Februaryish) and my wife & I are quite exited.
Now... how about an update from the veterans who served with me?

Garfield its good to hear from you!

Well I just got my bachlors degree in mechanical and aerospace engineering and will start the masters program at UAH in the fall in Rotorcraft Systems Engineering. Translation, I am going for my masters in helicopter design. Other than that I work at WestWind doing helicopter airframe modifications for the army.

Oh and BTW, Rakk (Will) and I are getting married this weekend after 3 and a half years of being engaged!

Glad things are going well and I hope everything goes well with your new baby. Talk to ya later.

Promise Vincent your first born and give him your right arm for collateral.


(Of course, some counselors just ask him nicely though its not nearly as fun!)

A fellow counselor has to vouch for you before you can get your counselor wings.
