    Funny story, my brother in law is a Marine officer and I was up visiting my sis and we went to the Marine Corps Museum up near D.C. While we were walking around we ran into a crusty ol devildog, and he told us a couple of stories and asked what units we were with. Bro in law obviously gave him his unit, and I told the guy I wasn't from around there (I'm an AF officer).

    *Puzzled look*
    "Oh, you're not a Marine?...well thanks for serving our country anyway"

    Priceless

    Congrats on joining the US Army! Take every opportunity to surround yourself with good mentors and friends and LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST!

    congrats dave, thanks for volunteering

    i know this wasn't your initail plan, but the military is all about service and sacrifice and you have already begun to do that. you can always cross over green to blue later on in your career if you still want to give PJ a shot
