I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands, to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.

McVay's Harem
Within ROTC, there are semester interviews for the Cadet Wing Commander, which is the highest job position attainable in ROTC. I originally had NO intention of interviewing. My next semester I should only have one class (if I pass my dreaded Botany course) and work. I don't want all the responsibility to get in the way of my careless last semester of college. Our Captain came around and voluntold every cadet who is graduating in May of 2011 to make an appointment for an interview. Crap. Well today was the interview and I was nervous to say the least. I walked in very prepared with my organizational job chart and new ideas to change procedures around the detachment. My Captain looks at my chart and asks how I would defend my decision on having the top three job positions filled with all female cadets. So I replied, "Well Sir, with all do respect, did you pose the same question to Lt. Tobit, C/Reed, C/Marshall or C/Quinnett (whom are all past male cadet commanders) when they presented you with their org charts with the top 5 positions all male?" The look he gave me told me I surprised him to say the least. He smiled, shook his head, scribbled something down on his pad of paper and said, "Good point." Then he and the Colonel proceeded to name my organizational chart McVay's Harem. I went in hoping that I wouldn't get the position, but now I'm interested on how "McVay's Harem" would do running the detachment!
