Ranger Cams,

I would be very interested in a meeting. Lunch would be on me if you would be willing to part with some wisdom and experience. If a smoking session was more of what you had in mind, that would be great to. I saw in your intro that you are in law enforcement. Do you have any knowledge ...

decision input

Today I spoke with the Senior Military Instructor of my ROTC battalion. I told him my idea of forfeiting my scholarship, putting my college education on hold, and enlisting as an 11b with an option 40. The MSG is a good man. I trust his judgment.
