Hello.

It's nice to see some Australians here.

I'm in Year 11 and I attend a school ranked 600 or somewhere around that last year in the HSC. I plan on joining the US Army enlisted and then hopefully studying at USMA after that to become a medical officer somehow but taking into account your guys' résumés I'm sort of getting disheartened with my chances. I've been turned three times for volunteering positions and I didn't apply for a leadership nomination at my school due to my lack of prudence, grand imcompetence and the fact that I didn't meet the criteria to do so. My ECs are not very spectacular neither are those of many of my fellow peers. Being brutally honest, do you think I stand a chance? Because there is a point where you cross between being strong and also being stupid at the same time in chasing an almost unattainable dream. I really want to go to USMA though to escape the avarice and back-stabing that I see everyday in the civilian world. If I can do that I will be content for the rest of my life!
