I'm Julio, or as my friends from Minnesota call me, Robbie. I'm 25 years old and I'm about to graduate from West Point this May! I'm pretty excited! When I graduate I will be an Army Officer. I branched (my job) Armor which means I will be in charge of a tank!
Tonight I find out my post (where I'm going to be living). I'm hoping to get Ft. Hood which is in TX. Pray for me!
I love to travel and have been to 8 different countries and almost every state in America. I'm going to Germany this summer for a bit of recreational travel and I'm going to Guatemala for a mission trip.
Few t.v shows that I like: LOST, The Office, Heroes, and King of Queens, and Samantha Who.
CONGRATS! JULIO!... I wish you the best in your military service and duties for our country. I'm very proud of you. And May the hand of God Himself be with you in your journey wherever you are taken to serve.
You will like Ft. Hood TX. Its a nice base, as long as you keep yourself free of problmes in the surrounding town of Killeen, etc. I live only about 30 mins. from Ft Hood... Lots of military go over to Austin TX for fun, there are many activites such as concerts, city picnics with bands, lots of boating, etc., going on there in the parks and on the beaches. Even outside of Ft. Hood over in Belton, which is about a 5min drive, there is the Belton lake for fishing and boating beach, etc.
One thing for sure you will not have to worry about the snow! The cold weather we experience here in TX, compared to where you are in MN, is nothing...:yay:
Back in my days, when I was in the world, Ft. Hood was the bomb! especially, at the NCO and Officer's Club...:party:... but over the years, as to be expected, and the new generation coming in, people, places and things have really changed.
There are a lot of good churches all in the area and on base, of all denominations of mixed congregations and segregated, you will have a choice. This is Bible Belt Country...
May God watch over you during your tour of duty in all things.
I didn't realize until right now that you were a Texas gal. No wonder I like you so much! I have an aunt and some cousins that live there in Temple. No wonder you are so willing to throw the truth out there no matter what, we Texans are not very politically correct. God bless, sister.
Thank you for all the great advice and information. Unfortunately, it looks like I will be going to Ft. Polk Louisiana instead! I'm pretty excited though!
