To those of you who read this blog, know that there are only six school days left. However, there are still approximately 1.8 million things I need to do between now and the time I can ship off to my summer unit in Alaska in the beginning of May. Fortunately for you, one of those things is writing you another blog entry! Unfortunately for you, I don’t have the time to write you another blog entry, so instead I bequeath unto you my to do list, so that you may perhaps see what the “day in the life of a cadet,” really is all about.

This is my short-term list: they are things that have to be completed within the next week. Thankfully as of right now I can cross the last one off the list. Hopefully with a couple of late nights, I can slowly start whittling this list down so that I can start studying for finals, packing, and preparing to leave for my first half of the summer. After that it’s just a quick jaunt back here to the Academy where I can see my fourth R-Day in a row, this time as an XO.
Well, now that I’ve shared the things I have to do with you, I think it’s time that I actually go ahead and do them. Have a great evening and if you have any questions at all, feel free to email me at Stephen.T.Nolan@uscga.edu.
Semper P,
2/c Stephen Nolan
