Green to Gold

Scotty, my husband, has decided to start the process of going Green to Gold in the Army. Which means there is a lot of work to be done.

Scotty is in good shape, I mean his job kinda requires it. Not to say that some soilders are over wight and unfit, but he takes good care of himself. But, for the Green to Gold Process they want you to be, "cut," because they take pictures of you for the process, so my darling husband is going from two work outs a day to three.

We also found out that he has a better possibility of getting accepted if he has an associates degree, so we are maxing out his classes he can take online through the army. We found out that if he does this and we submit the classes to the community college and pay $250.00 he can get credited collage hours for them. Between the college hours he already has and these online courses he should have an associates when he is through.

We also have to get accepted into a college with an ROTC program, be accepted by a recruiter, and get a recomendation from his commander. Needless to say there is a lot to be done, but hopefully it will all work out. It would be such a blessing if it did.

I am so proud of him for even trying to do this. I know that if he gets accepted he can make it the hard part is it's just not in his hands. There are so many that have to be in his boat. This could be a new chapter in our lives.


Wish us luck!
