Hello everyone, just making my introduction. I've been poking around this website for a few weeks now and decided that I should become more involved since I recently made the decision that I'm definitely going to try-out for the Legion, I'm preparing myself to leave in Feb. '07.
This forum has already been tremendously helpful in my quest for information and has has answered 95% of my questions that roll through my head as I contemplate what I'm getting myself into. In fact what I've read here has cemented my decision in stone, so thanks to the moderators and posters of cervens.net.
A little about myself: I'm 25, an ex-competive swimmer and BMX/motocross racer. I was born in Central America, I am of Spanish/French bloodlines, came to the US at a young age and left again in my early teens to study abroad. After graduating from an international baccalaureate school I came back to the US to go to college and keep my residency. My life so far has been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs. Currently I'm working as a fashion designer which may baffle some of you, but thats also a clue to my personality, I have always gone against convention and stereotypes, so any presumptions any of you have already made are probably WRONG :D
My interest in the military has been life-long but I never seriously considered enlisting until a couple years ago, for many of the same reasons most of you have contemplated joining up. It was only very recently that I made my decision to try for the FFL, and though I would like to just take off tomorrow and not look back, reality has to be dealt with, loose ends tied up here, and aerobic fitness elevated.
Well, that's it for now, thanks in advance for any interest and/or replys to the posts that you all will see from me in the next few months until my departure.
