Selected
I just wanted to thank everyone on the board for their advice. I was selected this past Tuesday from Class 02-05 and received 18D as my MOS orders. Now I've got an invitation to train. I'm on leave now and return after New Year's for SFPC (formerly SOPC II). I've got my Ranger Handbook and FM 7-8 to study and am waiting for the medical bookstore to open at Duke to gather the advised study materials. Thanks again for the help and Happy Holidays.

Congratulations Matthew. I'm truly glad you got the invite. Keep up the good work.
