<p>Ranger - you sound like a good kid who’s very interested in being an officer. But to get in you have to concentrate as hard as you can on your academics and on leadership activities. Forget about Bugle Notes - it’s a lot of relatively useless information that is use for the good purpose of getting the Plebes to concentrate. You’d be better off right now memorizing the Declaration of Independence rather than how many gallons of water there are in Lusk Reservoir. Good Luck!!</p>
