Well.....the first year of ROTC is done. Finally, I can take a bit of a break from formations. In the meantime, I've decided that sometime, I shall go to law school, the interest has grown in the last year. I'm also looking for summer work so I can stay in Norman. I LOVE it here. So for the good and bad of ROTC lately. The good, getting a 252 on my last APFT, the bad, the first attempt for the APFT being stormed out in the morning, Oklahoma isn't the best weather when you...read more

It's been too long since my last post. In the last few months, I got hurt, passed a PT test last friday, and saw many things good and bad happen. I am almost finished getting my major changed to a double major in Latin and Communication. With Comm I'm going to put the emphasis on intercultural and global comm. It's probably just an interest that comes up from having foreign friends. I'm doing birthday shopping now for my Russian langauge tutor who lives in...read more

First on my mind, DO NOT get a Latin tattoo without checking a translation, a friend of mine has one that implies she is a man. Well I got three A's at the end of last semester, can't complain, Latin, Mil Science, and Expository writing. How fun... Next semester should be great, no night classes, and only two 0830 classes. PT should be a lot more enjoyable then

Well. Almost over with one semester...about time. I am tired of night class which happens to be math. I still have things to do though. When certain things get back to me, I can reset my AKO account. PT is overwith for the semester, with the exception of Friday's Dodgeball game.

So I passed another PT test today, outstanding. 4 am wakeup...not so fun. I added at least 5 reps to both SUs and PUs and shaved 26 more seconds off the run to bring it down to a 14:20... lab tommorow is CWST...If the pool lets it happen.

Salvete Omnes! Quid Agitis hodie? I hope you are all well. Today is Thursday, that means lab, a math test, and ACU wear day. It's odd when a college student stops and talks to you and asks if you are ROTC or Guard/Reserve. I answer ROTC everytime, and yet, they still say "Thank you for serving" or something along those lines. While I really like seeing someone who isn't anti-military. I'd rather see them saying this to someone who has been deployed or has been in...read more

Today, my friends, is the midterm for ROTC. (Hodie, Amici mei, est ROTC midterm), I love having an easy Latin class, it's only easy because I have been using Wheelock's prior to college. The midterm should cover things such as rank structure, map terrain and features, customs and what have you...should be a decent test. Valete Omnes, CDT Vogt.

Well...I'm sick, AGAIN... It must be that part of college where they cram people into the dorms like animals...now I know how Tokyo residents and Beijing residents feel about flu season. I want to get the best filtration system for my dorm so I can make it a clean room, with decontamination at the door. I'm currently at home, I got the strength up to drive from Norman to Hennessey Saturday morning...although I almost puked a few times, but once I got food (at 4 pm) I...read more

I absolutely hate it when someone points a rifle at me. even if it's a fake drill rifle used by a (marching band) colorguard. I had to practice my yelling because this dumbass kid should really know better, he's a boy scout for God's sake! Do they not do firearms safety anymore??? EVERYONE should know you NEVER, EVER, EVER point ANY firearm, fake or real, at someone without good cause, if for military training or law enforcement training then it's one thing. However, any other...read more

It's the weekend of the famous Red River Rivalry and I am at home, right where I want to be right now. I will be moving into a new dorm room Sunday and Monday and for now, it's a good time to rest. I went on a run today at 0550 to "celebrate" being able to wear the winter PTs now. 55 degrees outside and each deep breath felt good. I visited my old school today and tried to find all the Sooner fans I could and convinced them to go to some home games. I will go to Alva...read more

About Me:
I am an Army ROTC Cadet on a 4 year scholarship and thinking of a switch in majors to music/percussion. I am a musician and I can play a couple of instruments good, and then some bad. I am interested in history, politics, music, art, cars, Latin language, Russian language,(my tutor is the girl in my picture), and a few more. I really love going hunting or fishing, and a good game of golf is just perfect.
