Hello everybody

<p>i’m just introducing myself :). i was appointed in late march and am from california. this room seems to be a wealth of info…</p>

<p>hi! welcome aboard :)

<p>southern. you?</p>

<p>yup...where in southern? ;)
i'm in sd county</p>

<p>i live there too!</p>

<p>I'm from Fresno in the valley...good to see some fellow Californians. ;)</p>

<p>Hey, I live in San Diego also, but I have a long time till I apply for the academy (Prospective member of C/O 2016). Anyways, welcome to the forum, undercoveraviatr and have a great stay.</p>

<p>so, uh, where in sd? ;)
i'm in east county</p>

<p>g4c...are there really not many californians? it would seem, population wise, we would kind of be ubiquitous... ;)</p>

<p>but a girl at orientation was all enthusiastic i was californian, apparently she wanted to boost numbers haha</p>

<p>You Californians are more prevalent than that other group of cadets...the loud Texans...</p>

<p>Must be the laid back Cali attitude that keeps them from stickin out Dude...</p>

<p>Lots of CA's and TX's from where these PA small-fry stand. And, I htink I saw five kids from SC, but 35 from Florida!</p>

<p>I have actually <em>been</em> to California - but that's it.</p>

<p>HOOAH for FLORIDA!!!!!</p>

<p>new york, represent</p>

<p>Sweet Florida, so if i get appointed I wont be alone.</p>

<p>Every time someone asked me where I was from at orientation, when I said Texas, their eyes rolled... like all the way around</p>

<p>but TX is awesome, so don't worry. haha</p>

<p>i'm not from TX, but lots of ppl think i am. i rly should be.</p>

<p>Right you are... it is awesome</p>

<p>I have adopted an attitude of apathy when people start trying to bash TX to get a rise out of me lol. I go, "oki doki, don't really care." And the responses are hilarious. OMG, your the only one! I don't understand! They love it and don't bother me then. lol. All about how you want to approach it. :)</p>

<p>One guy gave me this little speech about not losing your state pride... I don't think it'll be a problem :)</p>
