March 2009: I contacted Petty Officer Shawn Jackson of the U.S. Navy Recruiting District in Hanover, PA, to discuss Officer Programs.

April 2009: I contacted Senior Chief James Washington, U.S. Navy Officer Recruiting Programs in Hanover, MD. I took the ASTB and received a 66 out of 80 (the average is a 40). I applied for the following programs: Surface Warfare, Intelligence, and Information Warfare. I received my acceptances and picked SWO.

July 2009: I went through a lot of waiting to receive my official acceptance into the U.S. Navy.

October 2009: A private investiagtor working for the government interviewed a few friends, family members, coworkers, etc., and myself – during midterms! I was quite stressed out, but everything went very well.

May 2010: I completed the first official PRT for my record, and did fantastically!!
