I noticed your comment somewhere and I just wanted to say that I really like your signature: "We are the people our parents warned us about."
Sorry for the bother, just wanted to say something about it!

Lmao Kyle XD
Thanks for commenting =)

Thanks for the comment!

Alright, well it could be use either way. If you didn't know I go both way

LOl, It's not meant like that dude.. its meant in a hispanic way of saying i love you alot... Thanks! i am hispanic... i'm a chick by the way...

NOOO. I don't joke when I say something is funny. I am not a humorous person so when I find something that makes me laugh it has to be good. :D (and I know I'm pathetic, just in a special way). lol.

I know what you mean. I can't be funny in my stories. I actually need to be interacting with someone to come up with something. I'm pathetic. lol.

I was laughing my head off.

This is what my face looked like ---> XD
just less angry. lol. It was hilarious.

I disagree. I love the detail. It gave me goosebumps, jkjk.
But seriously. I really like it. I am also a big fan of mythology so it's like the perfect story for me.

So, good job. :D

Thanks so much :)

This is the basic guideline for how the PFA works:

Suspicious

He just seems sketchy to me lol

Heheheh xD

No problem! :D

Just wanted to say that this made me laugh:

[i]Sexuality: Why do you give a damn about my sexuality!? I'm not going to hook up with a random person on the internet! Oh but I'm gay[/i]

xDDD Also I love how you've filled out the MCR personality quiz type thing hahah :]

You'll learn ranks, yes. Mainly focusing on the officer ranks [ie Second Lieutenant, First Lieutenant, Captain, Major and so on], since it is officer training and you'll need to recognize a higher ranking officer. Going off of that, when you salute officers, if you're a Lieutenant (first or second) you don't have to salute other lieutenants.

You don't go to basic training after ROTC (That's for enlisted personnel). Instead, the summer between sophomore and junior year (The summer between becoming a POC after you FTP semester [Which is a bitch from what I see]), you'll go to field training if you're lucky enough to get a slot. I hear it's pretty much like basic, but you go to I forget which base and do all kinds of stuff that's meant to wear you down physically and mentally and if you finish that, you become a POC and continue on to become an officer.

You can definitely get a job as a nurse through ROTC. Most people want to be pilots, so not a lot of people at my detachment are nursing majors (actually, come to think of it, none of them are).

No problem! I'm glad I could help :)

Woo hoo, questions! XD I don't mind answering them at all :)

1. ROTC stands for Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
2. Average week... for us, we PT from 0550 to 0650 (5:50 - 6:50 AM) Tuesdays and Thursdays, and we have Air Class one day out of the week. Our day to wear the uniform is Tuesday, and we have to wear it all day from 0800 - 1800 (8:00 AM - 6:00 PM [Start getting used to military time now, it's a lifesaver XD]).
3. By the time you're ready to graduate, you'll have a good idea of the benefits you're eligible for as an officer and whatever goes along with your job as well as how to be an officer, customs and courtesies, and not to feel stupid if you salute an airman because you're not sure if they're an officer or not XD
4. The best way to motivate yourself depends on you. Like, for me, I tell myself that since I'm already out of the weight standards, I'm not going to get anywhere just sitting around eating all the time. You don't have to stop snacking, just pick healthier snacks like fruits and veggies. Cut back on how much soda you drink, cut back on iced teas (they're loaded with sugar) and just general stuff like that.
5. With you only being a sophomore in high school, the most I would recommend doing is getting into shape (if you're not already) and eating healthier. When you get to be a senior, that's when I'd start talking to people, especially whoever deals with admissions if your college offers ROTC. That person may be able to help you a lot with something like that.
6. Like I said, getting into shape and whatnot you should start as soon as you can. The rest can really wait until the end of your junior year/beginning of your senior year, like while you're doing college applications and such.
7. When you walk in the first day, expect a lot of confusion. You for sure won't be the only one new to the program, but if yours is anything like mine was, we had a program for new cadets where they helped us move in and got us acquainted with how things work in a basic sense in ROTC. It's kind of scary at first, but never be afraid to ask the POC (Juniors and seniors) or even an FTP (Sophomore) for help ^__^
8. You should know that the FTP will be the ones in uniforms with two diagonal stripes on their shoulders. You say, "Good morning/afternoon/evening (depending on the time of the day) Cadet ______(insert last name here)_____" to FTP (Sophomores) and all POC (Juniors and seniors), cadre (The instructors who are officers) and the NCO's (Sergeants) you say "Good morning/afternoon/evening, sir/ma'am (depending on what the person's gender is)." You could also say, "Good morning/afternoon/evening Cadet _____(insert last name here)___ to POC" or "Captain/Major/Colonel (Depending on rank) _______(insert last name here)____." If you know that walking in, they'll be pretty impressed. You should salute an officer or POC if you are in uniform, but NOT INSIDE BUILDINGS. Don't salute indoors, just remember your greetings.
9. ROTC is one of the most rewarding things you could do. There are so many people from all different backgrounds, and it's a really great experience, even if you find it's not for you. You could meet some of your best friends there. I'd highly recommend doing it if you can.
10. People usually don't treat you differently while your at school, to be honest. We all treat each other the same, and we're all pretty friendly, so it works. I'm not sure how it is on other campuses, but people tend to just see us as being normal people. It's pretty cool :)

If you have any other questions, send 'em my way and I'll do my best to answer :D
