Posting

Well, I received my posting message this morning. I'm officially being posted to the West Coast, effective 19 May 09, as an Acting Sub-Lieutenant. (I'd rather be an Ensign, it doesn't sound as bad as Acting Subbie... and isn't followed by the rank of Subbie.) I'm not sure what I'll actually do, as the course dates on the NOTC website have no sign of an ROTP MARS IV starting this summer, but it might have been updated since I last checked, but it'll likely involve some type of OJT. Hopefully not a shore assignment. I wouldn't mind if The Girlfriend was coming along, but she's staying in Ontario, and going home to my apartment--even though I'll have a roommate--will be rather depressing if I don't have anything to do. At least once MARS IV starts I'll have to study and be productive, even when I go home.

In any case, I'm glad to be getting out of RMC soon, but I'd rather get a little bit of leave before having to move, as I won't see The Girlfriend for quite a while after I fly out.

Ah well, here's to The Navy.



Also, the paper I have been writing has been pushed back further--a bout of illness kept me in bed most of last week and I barely managed to keep up with schoolwork, let alone a random essay I wrote on my free time. I'll finish the rewrite as soon as I can.
