Right now I have a sudden urge to want to watch the Lord of the Ring trilogy, particularly The Two Towers all because I was talking to a friend about horses. She's on the equestrian team at her school and she was excited because today being Friday meant she would get to go out and ride. I thought of the following youtube videos just because of that thought:.
Youtube search the following when you get a chance:
"Amazing Horse Sweet Lemonade"
"Riders of Rohan"
"Helms Deep Charge"
"Haldir's Elves Helms Deep"
"Helms Deep Part I"
Maybe its a sign that I'm embracing this whole 3d ACR (armored CAVALRY regiment) thing after all?
Oh and surprisingly, I was able to finish that Clausewitz essay and still have a great day today. Great as in I survived and nothing bad happened. I'll still take it!
Tomorrow, I have to inspect uniforms and TA-50. Hopefully it won't take too long, as I deeply value my weekends and it seems like more and more things are occurring on weekends that take up what little free time I have. Oh well.
And the First Class is SOOO short
(How short are we?!)
The First Class is SOOO short they have fewer days at the academy than Jay-Z has problems (it's 98th Night tonight!)

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.
