1. Were you ever in the Boy Scouts? YES....Has anyone that responded said No?
2. Did you obtain Eagle or what was your highest rank? Eagle Scout 7 palms: 2 silver and a 3rd bronze.
3. How did your Scout training help you in your military life or your Civilian life? Sure has and provided me with the foundation of accepting responsibility and facing challenges for what they are.......future lessons.
4. Did your Scout training guide you toward your decision to go SF? Can't say that it did either way, I know how to push hard, but I would give more of that credit to Ranger Bn.
5. Any other comments about Scouts and the Military.
I think its a good primer for boys who may someday be in the military, as well as being a good experience for young men altogether. I know they took a major hit when they had the lawsuit for discrimination, and realistically who wants to expose their child to that type of thing. I remember there was a Naval Officer who was one of my Assistant Scoutmaster's for the 85 National Jamboree at Ft A.P. Hill Va. Found out a couple of yrs later that he was picked up for kiddy porn, Not F***en Cool.
