I haven't read the entire book, so I might seem like kind of a jackass when I speak on behalf of it, but from what I did spend time reading...WHOA NELLY. It's pretty awesome and intriguing. You definitely get a sense for what type of mindset the SEALS are composed of, especially when read in...

I honestly don't know what to say to that. I just mentioned in my previous post or so that I would have gone on through the ROTC program without a scholarship (but would have eventually contracted). And how did this become an issue of being labeled along the lines of a pacifist or someone who...

If I had no desire to contract, I wouldn't have joined. I'm not upset that they cut me loose based on this, only for the reasons that they provided. And as I stated before, my PT scores are understandable and legitimate as a reason for why I got the boot. I've been told that millions of...

Like I said previously, the purpose of this thread was to get clarity. This is the board to go to for getting clarity on ROTC issues and the like, correct? That was the intent initially. But before having made the committment, I thought it would be a good idea to get a "feel" for the program...

I had informed my cadre that I did not have any current ambitions of contracting. The MS2 year would have served as preparation for a possible induction into the Navy Reserve, as well as to grasp more of the basic ropes on leadership principles, many of which I think have benefited my life...

My situation involving ROTC related matters is somewhat complex. Recently I received numerous calls from various members of cadre wanting to discuss my "options" with the Army that have been unsolicited and almost nearly spontaneous as the 2010 Fall semester has gone on its start off. Now that...

Oh yay look at what I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diZMJBFyKiY&feature=related Bring it on, assholes.

It wasn't too long ago I came across a crazy ass Marine (on leave of course) that informed me that Al-Qaeda is an organization interested mainly in protecting the interests of their homeland. Maybe there is a sort of bias here in the West, but it would strike me as kind of odd as to say that...

I can't say that I truly understand what you mean by that statement, but I can respect it. I know of several instances of where someone was asked about how it felt killing someone. An active duty Navy SEAL came to my high school and his response to this question (phrased hypothetically) is...

My MS1 instructor tries to keep from disclosing his political views but it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure that based on all of his negative comments about Communism and socialized health care that he's a Republican or endorses conservative views. Quite frankly, I think the reality of...

Sorry Pima, I've been dealing with other things so it has taken me a while to get back to ma thread here. Put in simple terms, I thought that going into the Army might be a good decision for me, so I tested the waters. I'm not too thrilled with what I've experienced thusfar. As opposed to a...

I'm not all that ideological but I have a disdain for allot of Democrats these days. Scientists just discovered the densest element on Earth not too long ago. It's called Pelosium. Atomic symbol is PU and it is held together by morons. :thumb:

Just for notice purposes I had responded with an e-mail to your outlined requests earlier this week. I look forward to your next reply. :thumb:

An e-mail with the entire post has been sent Mr. Mullen. :thumb:

Alright, it is time to finally slay the beast. I've decided it is best to be upfront about this whole thing straight from the get-go. My official diagnosis is Aspergers, and depending on who you talk too these days, it's either a mere socialization disorder or a minor-degree variant of...

Of course not. It's his party and he can cry if he wants too. :shake:

Truth be told, I couldn't have said it better myself.

Hello forum people, a little info about myself would probably assist in my goals with this board. I'm turning 20 this June and just completed my MS1 year with the local Army ROTC detachment downtown. I am seeking to contract but I have discovered through many rough and tumble events this past...

In this particular case, it would have applied to this individual (whom it's even hard to tell about whether or not he is/was actual military; he took issue with the patrol cap and that I wasn't wearing a beret instead, even after explaining to him that I'm a ROTC cadet, not SMP or even merely...

I can assure you I had done this. He felt pretty horrible for his remarks particularly given this was on Veteran's Day. This is why I was surprised that the MS4 I had told this too thought the whole situation was funny. I was embarrassed and shocked. But I look back at some of it now and I can...
