  Congrats brother.
  
  Can't say as I'm surprised you made it. And that's just from reading your insightful posts here, and the time we spent chatting the one day I had the pleasure to hang out with you in Tn

  Congratulations! That is awesome, but you deserve it.
  

  
  

  You probably want something to celebrate. I didn't forget you. (Actually, I forgot you)

  
  

  Anyway, Bum 2018 ships in about a month and I will make sure you have an extra special package. I got the address you gave me, but if it changes, please let me know.

  Congratulations on the placement! They saw in you something they liked and wanted in the position you'll fill. Do yourself proud, and learn and grow along the way!

  Congratulations.  Don't sell yourself short, assignments like that are earned, not given to PX Soldiers.  Well Done!

  Centermass: Operational or Advisory? I'm guessing the former...

  So, got back a couple of hours ago. For the past four days I was displaced so far out of my comfort zone, I couldn't even see my comfort zone boundaries. I felt so far in over my my head I couldn't even see the top of the water. It was truly very humbling. However, they saw something in me they liked and I report to Asymmetric Warfare Group after graduation for their OTC, and subsequent assignment. 
  
  I can't tell you guys the feeling I have. Going into the last day, I was for sure that I did not make the cut. And, when I say humbling...I mean it. Given the people I was assessed by, for them to say I could be a part of their team...Just blows my mind. 
  
  Just wanted to share.

  OTC?

  Thanks Fellas. It was tough. 
  
  OTC is Operator Training Course.
  
  Zorba, its actually both. A fair chunk of the advising happens in theater. And, we have to meet the threat and counter the threat before we can advise on it.
