#50 - Wow!


I am pleased to report that I am the winner of a contest sponsored by the Armystudyguide.com website. I've been spending a lot of time on this website over the past 2 months, getting ready for basic training. It has been very helpful, and I've learned a lot from the folks there. In December the website ran a contest in which the lucky winner would be mailed an Apple 30GB video Ipod. My name was chosen randomly from a list of the top 5 posters and top 5 topic starters.

I am very excited! I've entered a number of contests over the years, but never won anything before. The only downside is that the Ipod is probably going to come after I ship to basic training, so I won't be able to have it until I'm at AIT for a bit. I left a number of folders on my computer with music, photos and videos for my husband to load onto the Ipod for me. This will make going through a 20 week AIT away from home a lot more bearable (as well as my future deployment!). I believe this Ipod stores something on the order of 7,500 songs, so I will be set. :)

I would like to encourage anyone who is interested in enlisting in the military (or already a servicemember) to check out the Armystudyguide.com website. Though I have haunted many military message forums in the past several months, this one has been my favorite by far:
