How long you been in ?

and Thanks for your service !

wheel,

Seriously, glad to hear you're nearing the end. I turned 25, the oldest age at which the Army used to draft, about 3 months before Reagan's last day in office. For about six months, I'd open the newpaper ever day, expecting to see that he'd gotten us into some war and the draft was going to re-start. And yes, I had registered when I turned 18, as required.

Stay safe. The U.S. kinda sucks a little right now, but we've got 3-D TV coming out and some other cool **** you'll want to see.

:)P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

^3- Damn straight! lol

^4/5- Thanks, and you're welcome. Har har!

^7/8- Then they better start preppin' the AWOL paperwork now, 'cause I will be hasta la bye-bye, baby!

But yep, thanks for the kind words. Right now it's kind of a 'so long and thanks for all the fish' feeling. I'm just itching to get out and move on to better things (I got accepted to Columbia University!). Like anything else, there's been some good and some bad along the way. With time I'm thinking the good will become more dominant in my mind. Heh.
