james

p.s. also u can go to the college u want if you go plc. get teh degree u want (im getting a criminal justice). and not have to worry bout deployments till your out of college.

JEEEEEZZZZZZZ were we seperated at birth? That is the SAME thing im doin. Excpt, i was wonderin if you could do NROTC and PLC at the same time? haha sound like a dumb question to me but i want as much as possible. Im going to A Army JROTC highschool so after highschool im going to college, plc/nrotc, marines, than MABY a service switch, but im leading both. Mommy says im a natural born leader ;-)Oh and than a local TNT or SWAT unit.
