My room

Your living quarters consist of a dormitory with a common dayroom and ten rooms with two people each.  Privacy is uncommon.

Just about done...

Here I am shortly after my family arrived the night of the award banquet (4/25/02).  The hair was usually cut to the scalp on the sides.  I think I had three haircuts during the six weeks.   The shoulder epaulet is that of Squadron Commander.  The leadership positions the final week were honorary positions, so I was proud to take that post.

My Faculty Advisor

This was my faculty advisor, Captain Timothy Vowell, and his wife, at the award banquet. 

Visitors 

My uncle is a retired army Colonel, and came down to perform a private commissioning for me.  

Parade 

This was during the parade prior to graduation. I was in 'A' Squadron, which led the parade. As Squadron Commander, I led the squadron. Therefore, guess who got (had) to lead the whole gaggle? We practiced a lot and it turned out pretty good.  

Banquet 

Here is everyone who came to visit for graduation. My dad is on the left, then my wife, sister, and uncle on the right. I was not sure quite how to relate to everyone after hardly speaking with them for six weeks, but I was very excited to have them there. They made the occasion that much more special.  

More to come...
