maggot reporting

meneroth · Post by **meneroth** » November 20th, 2006, 2:14 pm

Hi everyone, my name is Chris and I am 17 years old. I am currently a senior in highschool and am planning on attending West Point Military Academy, or failing that, Army ROTC. Im not 100% sure about joining the angers, as I am well aware that things change in 4 years, but as of now the Rangers is a probable career choice for me. I am an airsoft fag, though I donâ€™t claim to be a soldier of any competence. Itâ€™s a little intimidating getting on this site with people that I hold in such high esteem and to some degree a level of mystique, but all you guys seem really nice from what I have browsed through on this forum. please yell at me if I do anything retarded.

Anyway, thanks for what Iâ€™ve learned from this site so far, and for what I plan to learn.

later

Welcome

Read the FAQ's, get a avatar from either NEWT or NEWT2 located in your profile.

Good intro except for missing the first "R" in Rangers. Preview before submit will have lessen mistakes.

Forget the Airsoft here - we hate it.

Keep reading and research, there is plenty here to learn.

Also, maggot's we got here. Many Rangers are called Maggots and they are proud of it too.

Welcome to the site. You are a senior in high school. If you have not already got your letters off to your congressman asking for an appointment to West Point, you are already behind the curve. If you haven't figured out whether you are going to West Point or ROTC, you are doubly behind.

Well, Chris, if you really want to be a Ranger you came to the right place. A man has only one opportunity to make a good initial impression, and so far you are getting by. Please take this opportunity to read all the FAQs, stickies, and selected threads. There are a few members of the Corps of Cadets on the site. By now the DEPs should have contacted you and given you your initial orientation.

Quick questions: Have you obtained an appointment from your congressman? Have you considered enlisting out of high school and trying for an appointment after a couple years as a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment?

Welcome...

oops, my bad about the R, i did spell check, but i wasnt paying much attention, and juggling papers at the same time. sorry.

anyway, yea, ive already applied to both west point and ROTC, i actually have an interview tomorrow with a senior at West Point, but im not sure if its a real interview or they are just probing me a little bit. im a little nervous, but really excited about it.

I kinda do want to enlist right out of highschool and get some training and experience under my belt, but my mom would have a nervous breakdown if i did. she has heard to many nightmare stories i think.

I will shut up about airsoft. right now.

Please stop right where you are, young man. I gave you some very specific guidance. When you find yourself on this site, you are expected to pay attention to detail. Perhaps my last message was not specific enough; we would like you to write in English. I am a Ranger, not your English teacher. Re-read my last instructions, please.

Sorry sir, I will be more careful in the future.
