25 for a full month now and haven’t kicked the bucket so far. Finishing up grad school and peeking with trepidation at the Real World (No, not MTv). I’d guess mean age to be mid 30’s. ---

Another boomer checking in… I’m 50. So far, out of all the people posting, there are only 6 older than me. I know of a few more out there. I believe **David Simmons** has been generally recognized as the most senior (in age) of the dopers. ---

21, male. I get the feeling that before my enlistment’s up I’m going to feel like I’m 90. I love being a mortar (super groundpounder!) but man, having to hump those cannons is a class act. And for all you non-military folk, “hump” means “hike and carry.” Sick minds, all of you. ---
