I am an Occifer now!!
Well after 5 weeks of school with 2 weeks of Christmas exodus in the middle, I have finally graduated Warrant Officer Candidate School and I am now a WO1. The school taught me a lot about the ins and outs of the Army, and brought some new perspectives about leadership and my career. The days were long and planned out from 5:25am to 11:00pm, but it all came to an end soon. I had a great class of 53. This was the first school I didn't want to punch someone out!!! 19 of us were aviators and I will spend the next 2 years with them. I had a guy in my class named Garret that will be in my unit in Clearwater (he is in the middle of the picture, with my friend Justin on the other side).
I am currently in a hold pattern called a "bubble" for the next 6 to 8 weeks before I start flight school. In this time I have plenty to do around the house, study for the beginning of flight school, get in shape, do more with the business and start my masters degree. Oh yeah, and become a father to a beautiful little girl. This year will be very exciting for the Dean family. We will keep you all posted on everything that is going on.
