introduction- Matt

Post by figs52 »

Hi all,
My name is Matt I am 19 years old and I am from Illinois, I graduated high school in 2013 with a great interest in becoming an elite soldier in our military. After doing plenty of research on all the militaries special operation warriors I landed on the army rangers. They just seems like the toughest mother**** of all time with their hardcore training, warrior mentality, brotherhood, and history of pure badassery. Instead of joining right out of high school i decided to give college a try since my parents really wanted me to and it was free due to a baseball scholarship i was offered. That lasted a little longer than a semester. I just didn't see the point I knew what I wanted to do and did not want to put it off for another 4 years. I dropped out and ended up swearing in with an 11x option 40 contract about a week ago and I'm shipping out May 27th. And thats my story so far…
