Introduction

Post by burke21 »

Hooah, all. My name's Eric, I'm 17 and am currently finishing up my Junior year in high school. I reside in Kansas City, Missouri and I work in a small manufacturing plant in Pleasant Valley, Missouri.

I'm currently awaiting my 18th birthday on September 10 to take the oath and enlist officially, but my local recruiting station provides regular meetings and team-building events/drills for both DEP recruits and "DTP" recruits like myself to prepare us for basic.

Looking forward to hopefully making it as a Ranger and having the opportunity to serve my country in the company of high-caliber comrades who are all looking for something more from their service.

I'm also excited to become a member of this community, as after reading the FAQs and DEP-information posts, I'm greatly impressed with the professional nature and level of maturity abound, which is in stark contrast to the majority of online communities now adays. I hope to learn alot and one day contribute what I can.
