[QUOTE="zzzzzer, post: 354506, member: 2704"] :lol: You sound like my uncle Norman...lol He's an E-9 (Sgt. Major) in the Army and if someone just called him "Sarge" he'd hit the proverbial freakin' roof. :-D Can't say I blame you guys. Hey, its hard work to get all those stripes! :) nyk, its a great experience. I was accepted to 3 of the 4 colleges I applied to but I enlisted anyway. Besides, I had to keep the family 'heritage' on track by serving at least one enlistment. It was 4 great years (up's and down's, but way more good things then bad). I went to school part-time my last year in-service but seperated to finish college (I graduate fall '04). The only advice I can give is GET A JOB YOU LIKE (like Intercooled said)!!!
