just wish I had registered earlier. ah well.
I just asked because a very close friend is teaching something there… I was Navy - don’t understand that Army stuff.
There - that padded a bit more, eh? 
yep
how did you like the navy, btw? and how long were you in? Haven’t decided whether or not I’ll do the green-to-go program when my 6 years are up.
I did 11 years active, 3 reserve. Started as “E” and got out as “O”, and since '85 I’ve worked for the Navy as a civ. Had I not married, I likely would have stayed in till retirement. It was great for me - lots of opportunities to travel, meet all sorts of folks, and do things I would never have considered otherwise - like taking flying lessons. Should my daughter want to serve, I’d be thrilled for her.
Bah! Post count means nothing! It’s registration date that is important. I look at most of your registration dates, and what do I see? Aug 2000, or Jan 2000. Wussies. Been here since good ol’ 1999. That’s right, 1999. Fear me!

There is a saying to remember generals by
"Be My Little General"
Brigadier General (1 star)
Major General (2 star)
Lieutenant General (3 star)
General (4 star)
Teppei: The above is what is known as a 'hijack. Something the old hands do to mystify and demoralize us newbies.
