Bottom Line Up Front: I'm going to Fort Hood and will be assigned to the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR).
So last night was Post Night, where we firsties get to choose our first duty assignment based on order of merit (i.e. class rank). I'm kind of low in the OML (169/271) so it really was a nerve racking time for me. Needless to say, I didn't get any of my top choices (all the airborne slots went out-- go figure) so I went for the next best thing: 3rd ACR. I really don't know much about the unit, but I've done a little research and they seem pretty cool. Apparently, George S. Patton was in it at one time. Whether or not I'll be as famous as him is still questionable, but I look forward to the adventure.
Oh and the stetson and the spurs thing characteristic of cavalrymen? I think that will take a little bit to grow on me.
