I think perhaps you missed the point that has generally been made by all of the Rangers who took the time to respond. You're the one who must make your own life decisions. Right now, you decided to remain in school for another academic year; and that's fine. It's your life and you're the one who ought to make the decisions -- nobody else.Buckmark wrote:Rangers, thankyou for your replies. I realize that this board is not a place where I will find cut and dry answers to the tough questions of life. However, you all have something I do not which I want more than anything else. That experience makes you a much more reliable source of information than every Tom, Dick, and Harry who offer advice with no real knowledge about the subject on which they speak.
Your replies have been very helpful and again, thankyou. I have decided to complete another year of ROTC without contracting rather than enlist right now.
I will now shut up and listen.
Need advice from those who have been there
