      Thanks Dad2142Dad I love the USMC and what I do. Gulo...what do you mean work for half my pay? I retire and get that pay for serving. Capt Hero...the bs is worth it and it isn't that bad once you learn the system and what's expected. I'm on 12 years currently and this next contract will take me to 16 years...only another 4 after that and I'm clear to retire unless they hang another promotion infront of me and then they might have me for 22-24 years.

      Congrats on the re-up Sarge. If I'd have done 20 I would be retired for 16 years by now..where has the time gone indeed.

      Buds gunshop usually has really good pricing. Pay with a money order tho, as they have a CC fee.
