Introduction

[exarmy]

Gentlemen, Ladies,

I have been a member of this site for a while but am just now posting an introduction. Im 26 years old, served a little over 7 years in the Army with a little less than 4 of those years being with the 75th Ranger Regiment. I am currently working as a contractor in Kabul, Afghanistan.

I am not exactly sure of my plans once this contract is over. I will most likely return home to pursue a college degree and a language. My time spent working in and with the military has been in the intelligence field but I would like to transition into the law enforcement, particularly with the Federal Government.

Welcome to the site. Since you're claiming service in the Ranger Regiment, you're probably going to want to get vetted. There is a tab at the top of the page where you can get started.

Two things to consider as you look towards college:

Yale University's Eli Whitney Program
The Warrior Scholar Project

Marauder06, I havent heard of either of those two programs but will certainly look into it. Thanks. As for the vetting, I submitted my paperwork not to long ago. Please let me know if you didnt get it or have any questions/comments/concerns.

You're good on the vetting brother, as your new tags reflect.

I urge you to consider both WSP and EWP. One of our esteemed members is in the WSP right now and can give you the straight scoop.

Welcome.

Use your VA bennies to the max, and consider a couple of years in the NG (some states waive tuition for NG members).

Not another Ranger...:wall: You guys are almost as prolific as the Marines on here...

Welcome aboard. Listen to Mara, he actually can give advice on education without help from a competent NCO, we've cleared him for that.

exarmy, you might also want to look at Columbia School of General Studies.
It's a program within Columbia University to bring non-traditional students (such as yourself) into the undergraduate ranks of the university. It is highly selective, but with some solid post-high school work and some good essays, you can get in. I was just admitted today, and during the Warrior Scholar Program I met one of your fellow Rangers (from 3rd batt) that was admitted as well. They seem to like veterans a lot!
