Just to clear things up, JimP's post helped me a lot. As far as North Dakota goes, I've never actually been there in the winter, but my dad grew up there so I have first hand info. I would only go to West Point after spending a couple years as an enlisted soldier so not only would I be commissioned, but I would also have a degree for when I'm out of the military. If I decided against being an officer, I would go to college before enlisting, then spend my career as a sergeant. Now that I think about it, I guess my situation wasn't so different as I previously thought. For that, I apologize. I have read a message to Garcia, but I guess it didn't totally sink in. When you say SF is a calling, do you mean that you hear about what they do, and you just know that it is the job for you? I know that I want to be a SF soldier, I'm just not exactly sure how I'm going to get there
