Well maybe not then. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Just out of curiosity, since you live in Indiana will you be flying to RTC or be taking a bus?

I believe they may drive me there. In really not sure I'll find out Tue. But driving would be the cheapest route.

At 34 you will def. be on the oldest guys there, and probably older than your RDC's.

I was 28, and wasn't the oldest in my Division but I was like #3. Its not a big deal in the end. Age really isn't a big thing in the mil. Just don't go drink at hotel parties with kids who aren't 21. Not worth risking your career for one night with partying with the "kids"

Volunteer to be a leadership role, it will help you out if you get the chance for the advanced placement board in the end. You won't get points, but it will make you look like you were trying since boot.

Hi John,

Thanks for the info and advice. I am going in as E3 and I am going to work hard and keep away from the young drinking scene. I want move up and go on an adventure with my family. I'm also looking forward to becoming a Navy Counselor some day.
