ROTC Introduction

[lonepine]

Rangers, fellow cadets, and all others,

I'm an MSI ROTC cadet up in New Hampshire, going to contract next Wednesday once I get back from Thanksgiving break. I have immense respect for the Rangers; there's a retired Ranger (USMA '96 I think) who occasionally does Lab with us, and I have to say sometimes he puts our Major to shame with the depth of his insight. When he speaks, he always makes sure to come back to the same message: We can do it if we focus. So of course I want to be a U.S. Army Ranger - most people can only dream of being in one of the toughest, most elite fraternities in the world? Can I do it? I think so, whether it takes me 5 years or 10. I just need to keep my focus.

Thank you,
lonepine

"I think so" is weak, very weak. A better answer would be: All the Way and then some!

Well of course I can, I just didn't want to come off as some arrogant prick in the first post.
