New Dep Intro

Post by blue Nebus »

My name is Rich, I'm 25 yrs old. I'm currently in the College First Program, attending school at VCU. i signed my contract in May '03 & find out my ship date sometime in Jan or Feb '05. My plan is to apply to OCS (w/ preference in Intel Branch), but if I don't get accepted I'm going try and get either a Psyop or Counterintelligence slot.

The reason I'm 25 & still pursuing my degree is b/c the first couple of years I was more interested in playing rugby, than attending classes. I quit school found a good job. After a while I got bored w/ working a regular 9-5, so I decided to join the Army. I thought about what I wanted, got advice from my father (Active 0-5) and decided OCS was the way to go. So I buckled down started taking classes and put myself in a position to graduate in 2 years. After that, I went and signed my contract & have busted my ass in my pursuit to accomplish my goals.

To all those that are serving/have served/planning on serving, Thank you for your service.

Welcome Blue Nebus,

If you're going MI, I might bump into you sometime. I suggest you also try to get ahead of the game--map reading, military tactics, insurgent/terrorist tactics, and most important of all: practice paying attention to detail!
