<p>Hi everybody, im c/ Paris (it’s spelled differently). I am a second year applicant as well as a cadet and student at AFROTC det. 645 at the Ohio State University. (One of the best detachments, if not the best) I am hoping my experience here and my unfailing desire to the Academy will get me in. (along with some other good things of course.) I just finished my application a few days ago, the last item being a transcript from my first quarter here at OSU, so the wait begins.</p>

<p>Thats it for now, just wanted to say hi</p>

<p>C/ Paris</p>

<p>Oh and sorry for all the parenthesis (I like using them)</p>

<p>Hi, and welcome to the boards. Best of luck with your app! :)</p>

3

<p>Hi! These boards are totally awesome. Hope you find them so :)</p>

4

<p>Welcome to the site we have a friend there with you...best of luck</p>

5

<p>We will make sure all the LSU fans are polite..., but wouldn't the Embry Riddle ROTC cadets feel a little uncomfortable being called 2nd best? Good luck with the Candidate Package, and hopefully good news soon.</p>

<p>since you brought it up, and i ahve so many friends at OSU, i believe you can't have the best AFROTC unit, simply because your sport's teams developed a new slogan for ohio state:</p>

<p>"OSU: Number Two in All We Do!"</p>

7

<p>and notice i just said ohio state: there was not "the" non-sense, as if there was another ;)</p>

8

<p>I think det.330 would also take umbrage to that remark</p>

9

<p>Well i am sorry. I apologize for my ignorance. I will edit my post.</p>

<p>Edit: I cant edit my 1st post. Please dont think im conceited in any way. sheesh</p>

10

<p>ha, no one thinks you're conceited, they're all joking. Welcome aboard. Just curious (and don't take this the wrong way), but why did you decide to reapply if you're already at a great AFROTC det.?</p>

<p>We all know both ways, AFROTC and AFA , will get us butter bars. But, i feel the Academy will train me (and i literally mean me, not everyone) more sufficiently. Theres also the fact that that i dont drink and am not a huge party person (which is what almost everyone here is, hence why im in my dorm right now) I like the structure and the fact that everyone there is working towards a very tough goal. I dont like partying, but it is extremely motivating for me to be around people in stressful situations or just working towards a common goal. All in all though, i want to do something that will strengthen me as a person, in confidence or whatever, so that i can help this country (in all aspects). One other factor of many, i dont want to regret not trying to do this. Oh, and i would like to be a pilot. :)</p>

<p>I could go on and on but i wont. AFROTC is great, and i will stay with it if the AFA doesnt pan out, but I just think i would be stronger officer coming out of the AFA.</p>

<p>We are all really just playing with you....Even if LSU did beat "The" Ohio State...My Pharmacy Director is from OSU, and he took a pretty good ribbing for a couple of weeks. </p>

<p>ROTC is a great way to earn that commission, and you sound like you know which way you want go. I assume your ROTC Commander made the recommendation begrudgingly? Good luck with the application, and everything working out right your arrival in Colorado for BCT.</p>

13

<p>He wants to come here because USAFA is better. The end. ;)</p>

14

<p>haha. Well put, redhead. ;)</p>

15

<p>just as long as he doesn't meet redhead, he'll still want to come here ;)</p>

16

<p>i concur...</p>
