Hi, Nate, and welcome to JavaRanch!
A label is not really the route that you want to go; most modern programming paragidms discourage the use of labels. Object-oriented programming does this in particular; it is too "proceedure-oriented."
That being said, there has to be some amount of procdures in any code; if-else statements and the like are testament to that. What you really want to do is create separate methods (sort of like using labels, but more like sub-routines) for your code.
What follows is a sample of the type of structure that you would use to acheive what you describe
Hope this helps. If you have any further questions, we are here to help.
