Journeys of a non-traditional FSO
#EnlistedtoDiplomat:

Classmate: Wow you went to four undergrad institutions but @Georgetown still gave you a degree? 🚩

Me: Yes?

C: Oh most schools wouldn’t allow that, if you earned a lot of credits elsewhere...
1/6 Me: I had an AA and then just a few other credits from taking night classes while active duty so it wasn’t a lot.

C: Oh so like online classes? 🚩

M: No they were in-person satellite courses. I took some while deployed.

C: And you still got a Georgetown degree? 🚩

My step-cousin had a wedding three weeks ago. They’re anti-maskers. My granny went even though she cares for my grandpa at home who has dementia.

Everyone got sick afterwards, he tested positive on Friday, and he passed away this morning. Image As a member of @TheIronworkers Local 29 we used to say my grandpa built Portland.

We know for sure he helped with the convention center and I think of him whenever I see it, but my dad says you can’t throw a rock in Portland and not hit something my grandpa helped build. Image
