My life turned out OK, but I wish someone at about the same time in my life had had a chat with me about ROTC.

Three weeks before the application deadline, my guidance counselor posted a poster about Army ROTC scholarships. I applied, and was awarded a four year scholarship. Best thing that ever happened to me.

It afforded me experiences I never dreamed imaginable when I was a snot nosed 17 YO kid.

I envy you just a little bit. ;)

But mostly I'm grateful for your service and happy it was a good experience for you.
