Introduction - Rage

Rage · Post by **Rage** » February 16th, 2004, 12:48 pm

Hello Rangers, veterans, DEPs and others.

My name is Erik. I am 15 years old. I live in Salem, OR. I've been lurking here since about June. I don't have anything of value to add, but I thought I would introduce myself. I'm in the 10th grade. I'm an avid lacrosse player, I snowboard, and I enjoy running and strength training. I leave in late June to be an exchange student to the Philippines for 11 months. My major goal in life is to become a Ranger. I am awed by the comraderie, determination, and professionalism you Rangers display (and the fun you have inbetween

). I hope someday to join your ranks. Thank you all for this resource and thank you for your service.

Wow

. Good intro; I'm freakin' blown away.

You newts just got your asses handed to you, in public, by a 15-year-old. All of you shit-talkin', whiny-assed, shit-for-brains, assclowns who can't fathom why we 'make fun of you' and 'give you attitude' need to look at this intro, and then compare it to your own. See the difference? Actually, you probably don't; and that is half of the problem with you idiots lately.

At a boy, Rage. Now do some pushups and don't let it go to your head.

Hi Harris, I think your 1st post was pretty good since these guidelines weren't yet instituted. Welcome Harris

Starts reading in June.... Joins in November.... Makes introduction in February. Very good. Must have read the FAQ on Deadwood Accounts, eh?

Welcome to the site.

There are several Philippine Scout Rangers on this board. They may be able to assist you if you need information about the Philippines before you go.

How is it you ended up going to that country for the exchange?

Rage · Post by **Rage** » February 16th, 2004, 8:56 pm

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone.

Yes, Ranger Spartan. I read the FAQ and decided now is as good of time as any to introduce myself.

I'm going to the Philippines through the Rotary Youth Exchange. It pretty much boils down to the candidates (me and other students) making a wishlist of the 4 countries we want to go to most. Then the Exchange Officers (the adults that are organizing the entire thing), place the candidates in each country according to what the candidates want, the availability of slots, and what the adults think would be best place for each candidate. The Philippines happened to be my second choice, but after talking with some of the students from there, I couldn't be happier.

Welcome Rage. I am impressed! The exchange program should be a great experience for you.
