I’m sure I’m missing something, but that’s just about it, hanging with my friends and such. Overall, this winter vacation was one worth waiting for. I don’t remember the last time I had a > 3 week vacation. Actually, that was the summer preceding my junior year. The summer afterwards I went to basic, and the summer after that, I went to AIT. This coming summer, I might go 97E, military intelligence interrogation school. It’s all set up for me, but I just need to decide if that’s the path I want to take, but the chance of me becoming activated is just that much greater. Just some things about the army that makes me reconsider.
