A salute to all who have served abd those who are planning to
Good day to all,
I am 16 years old and aspire to be a quiet professional. Ever since I heard the song by Ssg. Barry Sadler when I was 8 I was set that this is what I have wanted to do. I wanted to help people in need, Give freedom and hope to the oppressed all the while taking out those who wish to do harm to the weak. My dad was embedded with 5th group in Afghanistan and helped train Afghanistan swat teams. He was working for Dyncorp [PMC] and I couldn't have been prouder. My dad and mom have supported me to pursue a career in the military and remind me every day that It's all one big mental game. My dad has had me competing in Judo, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling [Greco] and Kickboxing matches ever since I was little and I love every minute of it. I am a Junior in AJROTC and soon to be acting battalion commander of 165 cadets. I plan on going to NC state Army ROTC and get nervous but excited as every day passes. I have to be honest with myself though. There are times where I just want to be lazy and I am but I am working hard to prepare myself and I am glad I found this website. This website even though it was intended for the honorable who have already earned their right to wear the beret I am grateful and gracious to allow myself to pick and read the experiences of others. I cannot tell you how many hours I have spent on this website alone and every day learn something new. My absolute favorite area on this website though is the Hall of shame. Only because of how horribly assembled the uniforms look and the lack of effort from a 350+ "Special" forces commander in ACU's fooled no one. Thank you for allowing me to be on this forum and gain knowledge in my pursuit to make a difference in a less fortunate persons life.
