United States Marine Corps

    Currently, I'm a Private First Class in the Marine Corps Reserves.  I'm also a Marine-option midshipman in the VMI Naval ROTC battalion.  For the next three years, I will be doing reserve drill weekends with a combat engineer company in Roanoke, VA.  After that, I will graduate from VMI and receive a commission as a 2nd Lieutenant.  I plan on applying for either PLC (Platoon Leaders Class) Aviation or a ROTC scholarship and a flight contract.  Obviously, I intend to go to flight school after the Basic School.  From there, I would like to go on to fly F/A-18 Hornets.  Below I am putting links to several Marine-related links, plus links to other military sites.
