You may remember a few months back around Novemeber, I was going to join the Marines. I finally told my parents and they freaked but they comprmised. I talked to both the Marines and Army I felt the Army gave me the best opportunity to serve my country in the way I want.I joined the Delay Entry Program in which I was able to move up a rank before going to boot camp. I'll be a signal support specialist, I leave two weeks after my graduation for boot camp. I look forward to serving in Iraq or Afghanistan that's why I joined. For me I couldn't sit back and agree with a war, and have other people fight for our country. After four years of service I plan on going to Texas State university and earn a Sports Marketing degree. If I still feel our country still needs men like me, i'll go in as officer.

You are a crazy little SOB. Are you related to the former Senator Edwards?
Actually, I missed out on being a former Marine because the Corps only allowed a 6 month delayed enlistment period.
So then I joined the Army and about 3 weeks after the birth of my first, and 8 months after my enlistment I was saluting my butt off at Fort Dix. I'm glad that is over.
I wish you well, and thank you.
Way to go, and thank you! I think you're going to love it. Good move going for the commission (will that be the result of going to OCS, or because of a recently completed ROTC program?). Things will be much more interesting for you as an officer. Drop us a line once in a while and let us know how things are going, ok?
Thank you for volunteering. We wish you the very best.
Go Army!
