I have to depend on my chairman to tell me exactly what is necessary for the revision - and, since the committee authorized him to do the final sign-off without further input from them, that's a good thing. Now, I have to nag him - and, if there is one thing I can do, it is nag. :cool:

The party will probably come along about Dec. 13th + a few days. Early celebrations tempt the fates - and I'm not about to do that! The 13th is when it becomes official.
CONGRATS!!!!

When you're ready for the Change in your Screen-Name, give me a Shout!!:D:munchin

I've been working on getting a doctoral degree (Ed.D. in Educational Policy and Leadership) for the past 4 years. I finished my dissertation defense, which means I presented my research and findings on online education to the 4 faculty members on my committee.

I passed. After the presentation and a brief period of deliberation, the chairman came out, smiled, shook my hand, and said "Congratulations, Dr. ------.

I will need to change a few words and delete a couple sentences, but within a couple weeks the dissertation will be forwarded to the dean of the graduate school. Along about mid-December, it becomes official.

The dedication included one individual - but also all of you within this electronic community. That portion is quoted:

Thanks also to the men and women within the online community at ProfessionalSoldiers.com, who provided examples of courage, motivation, and endurance.

Sincere thanks. Without you all, I might have been treed by a chihuahua. ;)
Congratulations, Dr. An excellent achievement, indeed!:lifter

Great news to match great effort and determination! I like the sound of Nmap Ed.D -- has a nice ring to it.

nmap 10-03-2010 16:54
Thank you all. I appreciate it very much!

One of the many things that helped me along was one of Dozer523's comments some time ago. As I recall the post (and my apologies if I've scrambled the details a bit), Dozer had gone to SERE and kept thinking "At least it isn't computer school!" That always brought on a chuckle that defused some stress.

All the posts - from politics to guns, from cooking to humor - were a great way to step back from "the work" and have a smile, or perhaps a good-natured argument. Or, of course, to preach gloom 'n doom! :D

Congratulations NMAP. Don't forget to take a couple minutes to be proud and reflect before getting back to work - additional work is part of the package deal that comes with more alphabet soup after your name. :D

I'm glad it was a funny experience . . . for someone!

When taken the wrong way this DEFINITELY falls under DADT:D

Hey, I certainly have no control over whatever socially deviant thoughts you harbor in the dark recesses of your gore-addled mind, Physician. ;)
