<p>Hello everyone,
I am brand new to the forums. I have been reading it for awhile but now that I'm starting HS (Class of 2013--hence the name), I decided to join. My primary interest for post HS education is the USNA. I live about 30 minutes away from there in MD. I am an active Boy Scout (4 months from Star). I also play ice hockey and lacrosse. I am looking forward to all the great information you all provide.
Sincerely,
David</p>
<p>Welcome, David! </p>
<p>For future reference, a title like “Hello” won’t attract much interest. There are so many posts that some readers need to choose just a few that pose interesting questions or issues, simply due to lack of time.</p>
<p>My dad was a Navy officer (a mustang), so I think you have an admirable (on to Admiral!) goal. :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply! I figured as much with the title and subject of the post but just that it wouldn’t hurt to intoduce myself. One of my inspirational figures is a mustang. He is a Commander who enlisted then attended the Academy and was a NFO in A-6’s.
Sincerely,
David</p>
<p>Way cool! Maybe my dad (catapult and arresting gear officer in WestPac) launched him!</p>
<p>I’ll have to ask him if he ever served in WestPac. I know he flew in Kosovo and the Iraqi Freedom.
