I wasn't sure where to post this, was a toss up between here and the NROTC forum but this is more or less a little introduction of myself and what the hell I am doing here...
First off this isn't my first time here, I tried resurrecting JoshuaJWallace handle but found it more or less dead in the water as I believe the email address I registered it under is none existent or something along those lines.
At that point (several years ago) I was a HS senior, was looking into and had begun a NROTC scholarship Marine Option and was looking to go to Norwich University in Vermont. I ended up not finishing the scholarship run, second guessed it and found myself getting talked out of the Marine Corps and joined the Army Reserve, go figure....
At this point I have been in 3 1/2 + years joined when I was 17, DEP as a 31B Military Police. I have been mobilized for active service for OIF and have found myself mulling over plans for my future service to this great country. I've gotten in contact with the colleges I am looking to get into, namely the University of Pennsylvania and hopefully will be able to fill out the paperwork for the NROTC / Marine Option Scholarship. I've always wanted to be a Marine and being a pilot would never hurt either. I failed myself by second guessing what I wanted, not that I regret my time with the Army, its been a hell of a ride and the next year will be very interesting. I figured I had always popped back on and off this site checking up on the latest and I figured I would pool some information and possibly get a commission and an education out of the deal.
Feel free of course to move this around, I figured I would let you gentlemen / women know who I was and if you need any verification of anything - let me know.
