    That's how K & B here by me was, as well. Benefits were decent, also.

    I dont think he was being a tough guy really, seems to me you were pretty insulting about guys like him that enjoy a lifestyle you dont. You're both right about what works for you; probably in a short while you'll move on to something that suits you better but meantime if you re-read your posts you'll probably see you might be a bit disparaging about the way of life of some of the guys here supporting you. Its great you're so proud of you're army life, good luck to you, but I wouldnt swap it in a million years for my unhealthy otr life. Just different see?

    @Masshole/Noobie and @A21CAV .... come on guys... don't get this thread shut down. I've had it happen to ME before, yeah, the 'docile' one. Ask @MACK E-6

    With Harvey and Korea b/s...this is just petty b/s. Thank the good Lord *or karma* or whomever y'all believe in that you still have a home and a job, atm.

    Just saying.

    Tomcat~

    My oldest is in the Army...he's looking at a new "career" also. I hear ya. They wouldn't take me due to my severe color blindness....I would've followed suit; instead I stayed home and took care of the cattle in my younger years.

    Kudos to ya, man. Thanks for your service.... then and soon.
     
    bigred81 and Masshole/Noobie Thank this.

    Time to calm down. By the way, maybe some day I'll buy a drink for Frank (@A21CAV) and G13Tomcat, in Sin City.

    Your welcome.
    I was nuts to go to basic training at 37 but they were accepting up to 42 in the mid 2000's
