Hope that this isn't in a wrong place or anything.

My name is Matt.  I am 15.  I am a staff sergeant in Raleigh Wake Composite squadron (finally passed that blasted wright brothers test, took me 3 tries). 

I am a high power rocketeer.  I launch rockets like this:

(this rocket is not mine, it is a fellow rocketeer's rocket).

Can't wait to contribute to this forum!  I am not new on online forums, I have been on a Rocketry Forum for about a year and a half. 


Anyway, if this is in the wrong place, please let me know/delete it/move it to a correct place. 


See ya!

Matt

If your profile is to be believed, you are a little old to be a C/SSgt in CAP.

[pascocap2002]

Mike, he may have either joined CAP at an older age or he did not promote as fast as he should have. I was 16 years old and a Cadet Airmen. I joined CAP at an older age and Matt may have done that as well.

Check the cadet program age window and you'll see what was meant..

[pascocap2002]

Ahh, I see now..

[blackbrandt]

I joined last January.  I was 14 when I joined.  It took me about 3 months to pass my wright brothers test.  My sister joined at the same time and she is a master sergeant.

My colleagues are referring to the age listed in your profile, which is bit outside the cadet window.

At any rate, welcome to CAPTalk!

[blackbrandt]

Ahh... I mis-typed my birth year.

[MacGruff]

In any case, welcome to CAPTalk and to Model Rocketry!

keep em f.lying, kid. Model rockets can be the start of a great career. I know of a man who started that way in the 50s (son of Penn. miners) and completed a great career as an AF officer(numerous engineering degrees) who designed many significant items, including how we determine overseas nuclear events. The future is yours. Good luck.
