| | I got back from Warrior Leader Course on Saturday. I graduate on the Commandant's list which is only limited to the top 20% of the class. I guess it's the equivalent of graduating with honors. It was a good course and I had a lot of fun. The people in my small group were amazing and I enjoyed hanging out with them all.
Anyways, I was still waiting to hear back from my unit on going to Sniper School down at Benning starting in two weeks. Well, I get a call on Tuesday from my unit. "McGowan, can you report to Arkansas for sniper school on Friday?"
And I responded with the little three letter word that has gotten me in more trouble than I would care to admit. "Yes."
So I leave tomorrow for Camp Robinson, AR to go through Sniper school. It will be done in two phases, shooting phase and field craft phase. I will be gone a month. Here are some prayer requests:
-Focus
-Safety for the trip and for the duration of the school. No injuries.
-That I do well, learn quickly and am able to utilize what I learn quickly. That I do well on the tests and ultimately pass the school.
-The other students
-That I am a good representative of myself, my unit, and above all my faith.
-And anything else you think I need.
Man I love this life. Drop everything and go. This is the way to live I tell you what. I'll have my cell phone. Thanks.
