Welcome.

My point, exactly. OK, Rodney, welcome to the site. What branch will you request?

Ranger Jim,
I plan on requesting Signal ( I am a Computer Science/Marketing double major), Infantry, and Armor. If the rumor that Psychological Operations will become a branch this year is true, i will replace Armor with this selection.

You are graduating from college? You were cheated. I noticed at least a half dozen typographic errors in your introduction.
Ranger Jim
Cheated? Not at all. Coastal Carolina University has high standards for its students. The errors you saw was not due to a lack of advisement on the colleges part, but a refection of my personal effort given in that/those course(s). I take full responsibility for the days I didn't give my full attention to the information that the instructors taught at the time. Trust me, Ive changed and as a Senior I give attention to the lectures. Thank you for pointing this out. Would you mind looking over my resume before I turn it in to an OCS board?

Here is an observation from a former battalion XO, just the kind of guy for whom you will have to write Reports of Survey and Article 15-6 investigations, should you be commissioned. The above post contains errors in subject-verb agreement, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. Given that errors had been noted in your earlier post, I can be forgiven for assuming that you paid particular attention to this one, and missed them all.

You have few opportunities to make any kind of impression at all on the senior officers in your battalion, and only one opportunity to make a first impression. The ability to write clearly and correctly is important to your eventual success as an officer.

Welcome. Good luck in your endeavor.

True...and you gotta talk good too!

Side bar...would you believe you can make O-6 in the Reserves and never, I mean NEVER, command a platoon, company or battalion? WTF is that?

Roger that. From this point forward, I will keep my sentences short, and to the point. I have noticed that the site automatically corrects what it assumes are mistakes, at times, making punctuation appear incorrect.

Rangers,
Please accept my apology for not being clear. I should have stated that it (the code) will not let me tab at the beginning of my paragraphs.

I'm just wondering how that "p" snuck into your Username.

Great observation Paratrooper, it is supposed to be "Goat Lover". Maybe one of the moderators can change it for me.... I'll be in Fayetteville in June to run my Mustang at the 1/4 mile track. I'll give you a heads up and buy you a round if your interested.

Roger that, AbnRgr2898.

Is the the Pedro that you speak of? If so, I always take the backside of Dillon to Ft. Bragg from Myrtle Beach, it saves 1/2 hour.

Well I'll be damned, I didn't even know they had a website!

That LBG got high speed since I left.

What back side are you talking about?

AbnRgr2898,
From Myrtle Beach most people take 501 to I-95 in Florence, then North to Ft Bragg. On 501 you can merge to highway SC-38 that runs to Bennettsville that dumps you off at South of the Border at the SC/NC border and I-95 North.
