1. Were you ever in the Boy Scouts?

Yep. Troop 342 - Raleigh, NC.

2. Did you obtain Eagle or what was your highest rank?

Eagle Scout.

3. How did your Scout training help you in your military life or your Civilian life.

For me, the real contribution of Scouting was learning how to work with a group of people that I had nothing else in common with.

4. Did your Scout training guide you toward your decision to go SF?

Scouting didn't guide me towards SF, but it showed me that if I put my mind to it, I could get done what needed to be done. That's helped me out a lot over the years.

5. Any other comments about Scouts and the military, etc.?

My Troop was fortunate enough to have several former military parents as leaders. Their experiences with herding cats must have helped them when faced by a room full of awkward teenagers with pocketknives.
