I appreciate sooooo many things that combat veterans understand that few are credited with understanding. However you may feel about current combat ops, please support the boots on the ground. They are somebody's sons and daughters. God bless them all!!!! Go Navy. Go Marines. Go Army. Go US military! And God Bless their loved ones. The unsung heroes.
No love for the Air Force? What gives?

rdancd816, tell your son not to take his upperclassmen too seriously and always be nice to his classmates, no matter how badly they are treated by either the upperclassmen or their fellow classmates. The stress is just a game, but the friendships are priceless.

He loves it at Annapolis...actually he IS upper class as he's a 2nd class (Junior)Mid now. He will be the training Sergent for his Company's incoming Plebes. Wants to be a Marine Aviator. Thanks for the kind words.

Did not mean to short anyone. I just got thinking USAF, Coasties, Reserves, Nat'l Guard, ANG, where to stop? And then summed it up US Military. One of my best bosses was an Air Force colonel and many good friends in AF.

70Sixter, thanks for the words of advice. As a newlywed ( 9 months now ) I sure do appreciate it !

SD987, I have not pulled up to a drive up ATM in a car in years. Everyone thinks I'm nuts, but I always get out of the car and walk up. Keep in mind I live in Chicago, and I also do this in the winter. My cars have always been either too high or too low to use the drive up. I don't have to worry about messing up the car, and it would be a lot harder to sneak up on someone that way ( I will pull up to the ATM on the bike, though ).

rdancd816, that is the most bizarre, random thing I have ever heard of ! Glad the bank is covering the repairs…

Nick
