Being Excited and Scared at the same time

The Marine Officer Selection Board has met. I now have a slot at Officer Candidate School - 194. I will be in the inaugural Marine Officer Reserve program. After the completion of my training, I will report to a reserve unit and serve my drill once a month.

My excitiment is tempered only by the knowledge of what is coming. It's a hard road ahead, but I know I will be better for it when I return as a 2nd Lieutenant.
