When I first joined the army to become an MP I didn't realize that it shouldn't stand for "military police" but rather "multi purpose". When I was in deployment training I was pretty much taught the same that everybody else was taught during field exercises. As a gunner I had to learn to look out for IED's and do my 5's 25's 200's and UP... ect.. But after getting deployed to Afghanistan I believe that my training was rather lacked in categories that I'm currently assigned too. Ive been in Afghanistan for a little over a month now. All I can say is that I've been hopping around from one FOB to the next doing different missions what seems to...»

So first things first! Last Tuesday I did my PT Test for my OCS packet and got a 292/300. Stats are as follows: Age Group 22-27 Female Push-ups 44/46 Sit-ups 76/80 Run 15min28sec (I killed the run!!! and almost killed myself in the process LOL) I was really proud about the run, although somewhat disappointed at the beginning about the push-ups and sit-ups because I have timed myself before and I have gotten over 100% each time! Arrgg... But the truth is that I trained a lot harder for the run and I was most nervous about doing well on that than any other event. However, I am very satisfied with my score, and...»

 Finally, I think I am starting a blog that I will be semi dedicated to, at least for the next month, depending on how things go, because after reading many other stories and seeing how others has made their dreams come true, I'd like to share my story also. I hope someone will find it beneficial, or at least that my friends will follow it a little to check up on me while I continue to go through the OCS process. With that said, today it really started to hit me! Up until now, I've gotten a 88/99 score on the ASVAB exam, my 6 recommendations, and I've written my essay "Why I Want to Be an Army Officer". I started preparing around the end of...»
