I’ll be leaving for Basic Training this Sunday and since I have so much to do before then, this will be my last post for about two months.  I won’t have access to a computer until I get to Ft. Benning for Officer Candidate School in October.

I created this blog so I can track my progress as I go through Officer Candidate School and so my friends and family can follow me as I go through it.  It has also turned into a resource for other people who are joining the Army (which is great, I used blogs to find most of the information I was looking for).  Most of the visitors to this site are people searching for answers to common questions about joining the Army and going to OCS.

I hope people will still use this site while I’m gone and that more people will visit when I’m done with Basic Training.  To make sure you don’t miss any of my posts when I’m done with Basic, here are some ways you can be reminded of them:

I’ve added a new section to Votemcconkey.com to share all the links that I find interesting.  The 10 most recent links will show up on this page and you can view all of them at http://www.votemcconkey.com/links.

You can also follow me on feedly to find even more sites that I’m reading.

I figured I have more free time now than I will in the next year, so I updated the design of votemcconkey.com. I hate using other people’s things, I created my own WordPress theme. It doesn’t work in IE6, so if you’re still using that outdated browser, install a new one.

There will be more tweaks to come, but it’s good enough for now.
