<p>Haha, yes- I was in the 3rd US INF. But I was part of 2 specialty platoons within that specialized regiment. One serves in capacity as the guards of the Tomb of the Unknowns (which, I dunno, happens to be the most sacred shrine in the U.S.) in Arlington Nat'l Cemetery... and the second as the President's official public military escort (responsible for him, the vice-pres, the secretaries of defense & state, each Chief of Staff, and their boss... the man who is REALLY the most powerful man in the world- the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff). </p>
<p>So no, I wasn't hanging out with the President 24/7 like were buddy-buddy, but we worked with him a lot- in addition to all of those other political and military superstars. </p>
<p>And we actually ARE the unit responsible for responding to any terrorist activities in the Metropolitan area. Plenty of us were pulling bodies out of a burning Pentagon.</p>
<p>FYI I missed getting into Stanford, apparently by just a few applicants. </p>
<p>Sucks.</p>
