   Congratulations Mitchell. This puts you just one more notch above the rest. You are in for the time of your life.
Just remember, keep your head down, eyes open, breath slowly, and squeeze softly.
And with a name like Mitchell, how can you miss??

                                                                                            Good luck,

                                                                                                  Shoot straight,

                                                                                                                Mitch

the school will push you in ways that you think are impossible. Scaning and drawing were never my stongest suits they will teach you how to pick out common items in brush and flat lands. Start working on your Ghillie and when you think you have it right do it again and comb out that burlap. If someone can distuinguish something from 20 feet  naked eyes it's wrong. quit drinking anything but water. eat only vegies with very small amounts of unspiced meats( fish) dogs can smell you from a long way even upwind.

Watch out for the cleaning rod in the bush next to the main stems......
