Re: Introduction- Preston

Ranger Lefty and Ranger Jim,

Thank you for the input! Yes, I was there this past summer for a camp, and some of the kids there greatly exceeded my abilities. It won't be easy to achieve a high class rank, but you have to work for anything truly worth getting. Either way I am excited to finally be ...

Re: Introduction- Preston

Ranger Lefty,

It's been a year now, and I am happy to say that I was appointed to USMA and will be reporting in for R-Day. Much has happened in this past year, and many decisions have been made directing me towards a career in the military, more specifically the Army. I am still in pursuit of ...

Re: Introduction- Preston

In response to Ranger Lefty, thank you for the clarification. I will keep you updated as things progress. To start, I just opened my file at West Point and have begun the long application process. I am also scheduled to meet in the spring with the UWMad Badger Battalion, which will be the third time.

Re: Introduction- Preston

In response to Ranger Lefty and Ranger Jim...
Yes, from what I have heard from the people at the meetings I have gone to it is not an easy route. Unfortunately, it is one that I must take for the sake of my parents, for they are intent on having me go to college. Honestly though, I would much rather ...

Re: Introduction- Preston

My apologies Ranger Jim I thought he was joking at first. In response to Ranger Lefty, I live north of Ixonia in the country, which is in between Watertown and Oconomowoc. These are almost exactly in between Madison and Milwaukee, and 94 runs under them.

Re: Introduction- Preston

No, my username is in reference to the African American on the TV show. There is no significance to the title, it's just one that I have used in the past for other things. Also, I apologize for not responding for a few months, as I forgot my username and couldn't log on. I was looking through the ...
