So you get disciplined, you also have and co, xo, lpo etc. You get paygrades and rates also that are the same as the navy but you do not actually get paid. You where the uniforms and everything.

I'm an MS II out of Maryland, in John Hopkins ROTC. I'm trying to get 11A (Infantry) as my branching, but that's not for another year and a half, and that's if I graduate on time...my dream is to get into the 75th Ranger Regiment, and as soon as I get O-3 (Captain), I want to go through SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection), and get my Green Beret.

Wingnutz, you were stationed in Meade? I live 20 minutes away from there

Yes, I left Meade in 1984. I lived in Pasadena for about a year and a half, then I lived on the post for the rest of my stay.

oh man...84 was when I was born!

Ha ha, That's not the reason I left ckim. Actually I liked living there. The USAF had other ideas for me. What area in Md. do you live?

Ellicott City, right next to Columbia. If you took 32 to 29 North, all the way down, I'm about 10 minutes away.

I know the place well. Nice area. I used to drive through there on the way to Gettysburg. I always had visitors, family etc. and Gettysburg was always a nice place to go for a day trip. Lots of nice old fashioned shops in that town if I remember correctly.
