I have no problems at all with going to war - and the reason I liked the PLC/OCC summer programs so much was that I wouldn't have the chance of being called up and sent to war until after I graduated - and my first priority is graduating.

That said, I talked with the recruiter more, pushing that I didn't want to take a semester off college to do training, but that I didn't want to do the split program for the construction job, and that I wanted to interview for the OCC program. He said he'd get back to me about possibly doing the split program for other jobs - amazing how it changes from no openings when I push on that point. Still, we'll see what happens.

Ideally - both in terms of financially and in terms of my future - I'd get into the OCC program, spend next summer in training, and when I graduate from college I'm a 2nd Lieutenant in the USMC. Now the trick is trying to make that happen.
