March 20, 20179 yr I didn't realize there was a graduation in the middle. They've rearranged things a bit, I guess.
March 21, 20179 yr The graduation was only for this school. The next one will be the final one. To me the medical training should be done closer to the end since it's a perishable skill, but he will have more training after he gets his brevet. It's is the longest MOS block of the bunch in SF. He will do, among other training blocks, 25 weeks of language training, likely Arabic.
March 21, 20179 yr That's cool. I did a little reading after I posted that, and it looks like they did mix things up a bit. I imagine he's driven enough to succeed, which will be a major accomplishment.

Here's hoping it's Arabic and not Dari.

Either way, he will likely be in the 5th Group which is the Middle East. We tried to get him to consider Chinese but he won't listen.

March 22, 20179 yr Goes to show you how I think differently. I would have opted for Swedish or Italian, go figure.

March 24, 20179 yr Who would leave the severed head of Cthulhu in the fridge for people to find unwittingly? My wife, that's who.
