    Amen to that. And with their new tv deal from ESPN Southern football is set for another decade of dominance in the national spotlight.

    2009 College Football

    Well its almost that time of year again. Only 11 more days till the first Saturday and then 13 until Florida State takes on Row Boat U. So any predictions for this year? Im going with Texas vs. an SEC foe for the title game. With any luck the Noles will make it to the ACC title game to face...

    Recruiting Commercials

    Caught the Army's new commercials to encourage people to try to become officers and I was wondering, do other nations do similar commercials to ours? And to any former members of the British military, how does one become an officer in your military? I know its not by purchasing commissions...

    Embarrassed about Collecting Toy Soldiers?

    Being one of the younger members here (18) I would agree. I dont really talk about my collection with my friends but when they see it they usually just kind of go with it. Ive always been the kid in school who did great in history and wanted to join the military so everyone just figured it all...

    Good American Commanders

    Oh dear... Reading Omar Bradley's memoirs had given me the impression that Patton's masterful re-orientation of his 3rd Army was what saved the day. However Im willing to bet this is one of those moments that it matters which side of the Atlantic one is from.

    I saw this week's episode last night. When are we going to be rid of Sheila; shes finally gone over the top for me. On the bright side, there were some great moments in the firehouse.

    ... and another new range to be announced quite soon

    Im all for First Legion making its move into the land of the Blue and the Grey. However some may ask that there be equal consideration given to a certain Florida Native American Tribe :p;):D

    Combat Air Museum

    The 8th Air Force Museum in Savannah, Georgia is worth stopping in on if youre in the area as well.

    Good American Commanders

    After putting in some research I have to come back and question Sherman and possibly Grant's spots on the list. Sherman is widely held in high esteem because of his March to the Sea. But in retrospect that march didnt accomplish much other than turning the populace of the Deep South even further...

    Rotc

    My great-uncle would certainly agree, he was an All-American as well. I have to say I do like the idea of being in North Carolina over the idea of living in Kentucky. But from what Ive read its all based off the order of merit - meaning your ranking compared to all other ROTC cadets as well as...

    Rotc

    Thanks for the tips. Im also an Eagle Scout so things like the land nav I have a basic grip on, but thats always something you can get better at. As for shooting, Ive just always been able to pick up a gun and shoot well. But it definitely wouldnt hurt to learn to zero it in.

    Rotc

    The majority of my family is in Savannah and Atlanta so the dream post is the 3rd ID at Ft. Stewart outside Savannah. After that my choices are pretty much just based on what I know historically about units; i.e. the 82nd, 101st, 1st ID, Armor, or Cav.

    Rotc

    Ill be starting Army ROTC this fall at Florida State University and I was wondering if any members on the board had gone through ROTC of any branch at some point. What were your experiences like? Any other information would be greatly appreciated.
