Jack's Intro...

Post by Jacked87 »

To start I would like to extend my gratitude to all the brave men who are serving, or have served, as Rangers. You keep our great country safe.

Names Jack and I just turned 21. From California, but living in Minnesota. I will be a senior in college this upcoming year. I have been reading as much as I can on this site for the past few months, I finally signed up about a week ago, and now im posting my intro.

Both my Grandfathers were pilots in WWII, and when they were still alive I spent as much time learning from them as I could. I learned the concept of respect from them and I am greatful for the time I got to spend with them. I want to serve my country, and the best way to do that in my mind is as a Ranger. I will try to attain an 11x, Airborne, OPT 40 contract when i get back to California for school.

With that said, I will continue to read and read, and exaust the use of the search button before posting anything. Again, thank you Rangers and Servicemen/women who provide valuable information on this site.

After Rennaissance Bonehead, it's quite refreshing to see a well thought out, sincere about service and serving introduction. How old did you say you were?......Ahh 21, not quite completed college as opposed to say attaining a Master of Arts degree! Good job and Welcome.

Welcome. If you've actively read the forums around here, you know not to settle for anything less than this. Then, work hard and make it happen.
