    Good luck, my friend! I genuinely hope that works out for you. Where in the "sticks" are you wanting?

    Ideally, I'd like a location within the Jessamine county limits, in the opposite direction of expansion, surrounded by either farms or non residentials. The reason being, I want to build an outdoor range I can use on my property without noise complaints, city ordinance violations, or the like.

    Remember, take the training seriously(it will save your life) study the legals/classroom stuff at night(it will wash you out of the Academy quick if you don't) and keep your boots polished and your uniform pressed(it will save your ears from Cadre making an example of you).

    Hope you enjoy your time there!

    As I've been through both Marine Corps boot camp and several academies, I'm sure I'll have the process down by now. When I was in KS, I had the highest GPA in the class and was to get an award for my marksmanship score (2nd again! Dammit). Thanks for the advice none the less.

    Ok, didn't realize you've already been through it all. So this will be like a 22 week vacation for you then I went back to the academy here in SC last year, and was amazed at all the 'kids' reactions to life there. It's about as laid back and easy-going as can be, at least in my opinion, but the 'kids' rarely stopped complaining about how tough it was. I remember having to show some of them how to march(commands, etc.) and how to press a military pleat into the shirts. Big fun

    Enjoy the vacation
