First Post-Introduction

[wishbone93]

Hello, my name is Eric. I am seventeen years old and a senior in high school. My father recently retired from the Guard after 23 years and two recent deployments. My sister also is in the National Guard. I currently have a complete application in with cadet command for a four-year ROTC scholarship and a few colleges. I am an accomplished athlete as well. However, recently I decided that an immediate entry into another four years of school isn't in my personal interest or the path to my immediate goals. I do plan to eventually earn a degree through the opportunities the Army has available. I have always wanted to join the Army. I recently spoke to a recruiter and am taking the first steps toward doing so. I want to be a Ranger in the 75th and I know that there is a wealth of helpful knowledge on this forum and I hope to gain some of it. Thank you for all those who take the time to answer these questions and especially thank you to the veterans who have served this country.
Respectfully,
XXXXXXXX (Edited name out)

Eric, a man has only one opportunity to make a favorable initial impression. You seem to be doing well enough. Please self-administer a PT test and post the results in this thread not later than midnight, Sunday 4 December 2011. Never, never quit!
