Today we had a briefing from IBOLC (Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course), RTB (Ranger Training Battalion) and Office of the Chief of Infantry representatives and they laid out what was in store for us in the coming months. Basically, I need to get in the best shape of my life this summer if I truly wish to succeed in Ranger School. I'm pretty excited about it all, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. However, I already know some of my weaknesses (land navigation in particular), so I'm going to spend as much time as I can this summer practicing it. My roommate here at West Point is also pretty good at land navigation and did a great job teaching it to Yearlings when he was a Buckner Squad Leader, and we've planned to spend some free time here practicing. Hopefully, I'll do well in The Future.
Also, I submitted my thesis yesterday with little problems. I actually ran into my thesis adviser in the hallway, so I was able to submit my thesis in person to him. He looked it over and seemed pretty cool with it all, but we'll see how the defense goes-- my thesis defense is scheduled for May 6, 2011 at 2:00pm. The end is near.
