Graduation Day

 Yesterday my classmates and I walked across the stage at Wylie Hall, thus completing our Warrant Officer Advanced Course. 13 weeks of training for my particular trade. 

On the one hand, I was absolutely ready to be done and go home. On the other, I was lucky enough to have 13 other classmates who were wonderful to work with and with whom I hope I shall serve alongside at some point in the future. 

Four of us are Guardsmen, three came from the Reserves, and the other seven are Regulars. We blended a broad mix of experience together with our instructor, who created an outstanding learning environment. 

Now, it's a couple of days off, then back to the reality of civvy street.

    I hope to 'virtually' see you again soon.
