So yeah, i guess ill start the discussion for people going this week.

A little about myself
From Massachusetts, going to be a junior in high school. Finished 23rd in a class of +1100 in sophmore year; member of the wrestling team; finished soph year as a cadet Sgt. in Army Jrotc; want to go to west point and serve in the army, then maybe the CIA after; enjoy politics and international relations; like video games (Battlefield 2142 and Medieval II); love family guy and man vs wild.

Hi everyone (which is only one other person so far).
I'm a junior in high school in Michigan, and i'm really not all that interesting. I want to go to college in Great Britain (Camebridge, Durham, Edinbrough, Bath, etc) and major in politics or foreign affairs. For graduate school, I would love to go to London School of Economics and Politics, but that's a long way off. I love the West Wing, 24, House, and Deadliest Catch. I play rugby, and that's really about it.

are you kiddin me? That's awesome

Id love to go to England some day, and i also want to major in international relations.
heck, im a huge rugby fan as well (nowhere to play in Massachusetts though =[ )

Yeah, there are only 8 teams in my region (Michigan and upper Ohio) and 2 of those don't have enough players to play a game. Oh well.

I'm also really loving the support and enthusiasm coming from our week. You can tell they’re eager to go, based on the responses to this forum.

tell me about it. there are supposed to be something like 250 people going our week


also, if you (or anyone else from this session who comes in) have a myspace or facebook, im

Hi, I'm Kelly Turner and I'm from New York state. I am going to be a junior in high school. I love to travel and relax on my boat and I cant wait for the forum!

Yes, another person! Hi Kelly. It looks like we're all juniors, I hope there's a bit more diversity of age for the actual thing.

My name is Laurie . I'm 15 right now but 16 when I meet you all . I live in Myrtle Beach, SC . I'm a model and actress and just got back from New York City . Also I am a hostess at a well known restaurant (or wings place) . I am looking forward to meeting you all .

Hey guys my name Is Michael Ramey. I am 16 and currently a Junior at Red bank High School In Chattanooga, TN. I am so looking forward to this as it will be my first time in DC but also becuase i get to meet a lot of new people

oh nice, another jrotc cadet! I thought I was gonna be the only cadet going lol

yeah it will be cool are you gonna wear your class A?

this might sound really stupid, but how do you become jrotc cadets?

~*Kelly*~

Ramey: Yeah, def. I'm a Mst Sgt, my SAI doesnt like to promote LET IIIs to officers, plus we have a crap load of 08's in the battalion.

wake: you need to have a jrotc program in your high school. If you dont, then youre out of luck =[

I am definitely out of luck! almost everyone in my town has nothing nice to say about the military. My school doesnt really let recruiters come. i cant wait to meet people who think similar to me!!!

~*Kelly*~

wake i feel sry for ya I think JROTC is the best ever

Dan do you have boots and baret or low quarters and garrison cap?

hi everyone, i'm matt connolly. i'm a junior at a private school in Nashua NH, but live in northern Mass. i want to major in american history, and like to think of myself as a hardcore history buff. looking forward to this DC trip like you wouldnt beleive!

I jusst got my class As a day ago, but no BDUs. I would definitely not wear those, though. This thing is too professional for combat boots lol. I'd just wear Class As. I'll prob. wear those for most of the forum, since i really dont like wearing suit and ties that much, unless its a uniform
