    12 years down... 8+ to go

    It's been 12 short years and I just re-upped for another 6. Let's see if my "volunteering" to goto Afghanistan or Iraq goes through.

        Thank your neighbor and fellow gun owners for passing Prop 63. For that gun control is a winning legislative agenda.

                  Stick with it.....I know it's hard sometimes, but believe me when you finish the marathon, it's worth it. I did 27 years total reserve and active and get a check plus disabilty from uncle sugar every month.

                  Thank you for your service!

                              Just curios, Develown, what is your MOS... I have seen a few posts where you are obviously less-than-happy.
