Walked into the recruiter station and got a 99th precentile on my ASVAB, 143 GT score (it maxes at 150). Too smart to send into combat, not dumb enough to be a sergent, and really really wishing it was more like the Milt. At least back then I worked for a living.
Actually, I can't say I won't have any reason to go to PA. Sorry if I offended anybody in my Milt family with that comment. Just not thinking clearly tonight.
After the last weekend at home, I think I will be going for 20 years after all. Not like I'm going to have a reason to be in PA anymore. Sometimes I forget how much easier the single life was.
Although, I still wonder how much I can trust the government to keep their word about retirement...you've seen how veterans of our prior wars have been treated.
Maybe I'll just try to hit the lottery instead.
You may not be happy about it now, but you sure will be when those checks start coming in. Plan today for your retirement tomorrow.

Semper Fi!
I have much respect for my fellow Soldiers, but I have the utmost respect for you Chuck and all the others in your era that were drafted to the military. The Vietnam Era was a tough time and for anyone to come out alive and intact, it says alot about your character.
for protecting our country. I know the Gods walk with you all.
I especially like Eric's and Dave's signatures at the bottom of their posts. They are both so very true.
Thanks again,
larry
