1. Yes
2. Eagle Scout
3. Boy scouts gave me a love for the outdoors and enjoying challenges. Coming from a heavily congested suburban area I was the only one in my group of friends (outside of BSA) to develop love of the outdoors. It taught me so many valuable skills but most of all gave me a sense of national pride and honor, which in my opinion is lacking in our youth today.
4. I'm a civilian right now but it definitely increased my interest in the military.
5. Where else does a boy get to shoot guns, climb mountains, orienteer, rappel and spend some time under a pack?
