Roger that. I am available, but can not speak for Northstar. Regardless, by the time 13ust1 submits his assignment, we will have a group of four mentees ready to review it.

Hi, my name is Allen, I’m 18 years old. I am a senior in High School and work as a cart pusher at Wal-Mart.
I enlisted in the Army a few months ago. I ship out for Basic August 15th, 2008. I am looking forward for being in the Army, being an Army Ranger and a member of this site.
I want to be an Airborne Army ranger because I want to be infantry but did not want to be just a regular Army ground unit; I wanted to be one of the Army’s finest. Before I signed up for the Army, I was thinking of whether I wanted to be a Marine or in the Army as Delta Force, Special Forces, or Ranger, then I started talking to a friend that was in the Army and he told me that Marines sign open contracts. And I did not want to be told what I was going to be, I rather chose what I want to be. When I was in about seventh or eighth grade my friend and I would always talk about how we where going to join the military, him: in the Air Force and me; in the Army, but we didn’t know much about the military and how there was more jobs then just flying planes and shooting guns.
Also another reason is because most of my family served in the Army. My dad was in the Army when I was a little kid. I got most of his stuff from the military that he had gotten. My grandpa was in the Army as a combat medic during Vietnam, I also got his some of his stuff that he had gotten as well.
One thing I am doing to prepare for the Army is running in the mornings at around six in the morning. Since I have recently started doing this my friend and me run about two and a half miles every morning. After we get used to it we swill go further and further every time we run, but most off the time because I am in school I only get an hour to run on the weekdays, also on the days that my friend and I are not running we are lifting weights try to build up are arm muscles/ we usually bench press, incline and do just decline presses. We are trying to get up earlier so we can add more. We are going to start doing more since we are going to do that earlier then when we start running. Last thing I am doing to prepare for the Army is, I go up to the recruiters building to do drills every Thursday afternoon for one hour up to two or three hours. For the first few minutes that we Future Soldiers are there for us sometimes run just about half of a mil. Then after that we do; push-ups, crunches, jumping jacks, and other stuff that you do in Basic. Then when we are almost done we drill on orders and commands, learn about ranks squads and formations.
Basically that is the sum of why I joined the Army. Out of all the jobs I could of chosen from, I chose Ranger. I choose this because it is one of the finest of the Army and I wanted to be part of it.
