Hi! I'm Peter and I will be going to the forum on the 2-7. Anyone else going?

Yep, Ill be there...I cant wait actually.
Heres a little bit about me: Im 15 (16 in October), and I will be a junior this year. I live in NJ and want to enter the Coast Guard ACademy or the Merchant Marine Academy after highschool. From there and after I serve, I want to apply to the FBI as a linguist or undercover agent.I also wanted to join a JROTC program but my school is to small to hold one.

I can't wait either...I think it will be a lot of fun
I'm also 15 (16 in November), but I will be a sophomore. I live Nebraska. I want to go to a good medical school and become an emergency room doctor.

I'm going to the 2-7 forum.. =]
I'm from Hawaii and in ROTC.. I'll be 16 in October..
I'm looking forward to going to the forum..

Wow, you're both coming from NEbraska and Hawaii? Thats insane. I live in New JErsey so Im just going to drive down, it will only take about 3 hours. Hopefull we'll be able to meet up and maybe we'll be roommates Nancy. So whats JROTC like?

alright, ive been waiting too long for people to reply to my thread lol, so ill just hop into this one.

JROTC is pretty cool. There are a lot of cool oppurtunities for stuff, like drill teams and PT competitions. When you're a senior and in charge, the responsibility and command is pretty awesome (I cant wait). The classes though, depend on your teachers i guess. For me, they're a bore. Lets just say that 30 years in the army isnt really a teaching degree, if you catch my drift

Coming from Nebraska isn't too bad. Its only like a 6 hour flight. I went with my dad to WDC a few years ago so I cant wait to go back.

I know what that is like, Im an Air force brat so I know a lot about people who think they know everything because they've been in the military for so long...but I cant wait actually because I want to be in the military.

Thats cool, the last time I went to WDC was about 3 years ago, I love it there.

How much is everyone studying for the simulation exercise? I haven't started yet so I thought I might ask.

Well Ive actually wanted to start but my mom has absolutely refused any of my attempts to study because of the summer reading I have to do for school. I have a bunch of stuff for AP history and then I have to watch a movie and read 2 books for English III Honors on top of that.

What airlines is everyone taking to get to WDC? Did any of you use the Omega World Travel like it recommended in the letter? Just wondering

I know i'm on another week but....We tried calling Omega World Travel, but we were put on hold for about 15 minutes, so we lined up a flight American Airlines for a really good price.

I had to hold for like 20 minutes, but when i finally got on they weren't very helpful so i just lined up my own flight.
is any body bringing their laptop or anything expensive like that?

Well Im driving because Im so close to WDC but Ill probably bring my cell phone and my IPOD. But I have lock for my suit case it itll work out. I wish I had a laptop!

wow kathryn. it looks like we are the only ones that are going to be there this week. just kidding i think it will be a blast. maybe we can meet when we get there

I'm still going!
How do you quote other people??? I'm so confused.. @_@
From Hawaii to Washington D.C is like a 11 hours of flying time..

Hey everyone! I'm Trung Nguyen, 16 [17 in a few weeks], checking in for the 10/2 - 10/7 session. Can't wait to meet everybody!

I'm actually thinking about switching to a later session though due to academics and such. Anyone know if there's a fee in switching to another week?
