I fixed my post. After reading it again (and after getting some sleep) I realize how it came across wrong. I will do a better job of posting in the future.

Another Introduction
Top of the Mornin to ya! Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.
I am a college student in Alabama. I was enlisted in the reserves for a year and a half until I joined an ROTC program and became a cadet (Don't laugh too hard). Basically I just wanted to say thanks to you all. I had several questions and I found answers to them all by searching the site. There are some really motivating posts on here that I read almost daily. I really respect you guys and what you have to say, and I've learned alot about SF and life in general from this site. I want to branch Infantry as an Officer. Maybe I'll get the chance to go to SFAS someday in the the future.
Thanks again for everything i've gained from this site and God Bless you all.
