Beat me to it, Ray!! It's quite a privilege & honor to make this Honor Roll, let me tell you!! Officer Candidate School (OCS) is one of the tougher ways to get your commission as an Officer. (Think SGT Carter & Gomer Pyle scenario - where he's in your face!! I equated my time there with that impression - Basic Training Revisited (since you first went to Basic Training at some time in your life) - but only twice as bad!!!) It's a constant test of your abilities to handle pressure and stress, on how much you could take, and your abilities to lead and react under the toughest of conditions (and that was just to receive your commission - the fallout rate was more than 50%). Few have this honor - and no one deserves it more than Wes, for he has surpassed all the diverse challenges the military requires of you - with distinct professionalism, exceptional talent, and pure natural abilities. Knowing both Wes and Ida as I do - they have sacrificed a lot in their military careers (none more than constantly being seperated!! Unbelievable what they went thru!!), and both were very successful (both professionally and personnally - a testament to the bond and support of a true marriage!!) Wes - again, the heartiest of CONGRATS to someone who truly deserves it - will definately try to be there (altho Ft Benning (School of Boys - Ha Ha) has never held the best of memories for me!!) We'll break out the Bubbly!!
