   scout2505 replied to scout2505's topic in Government

   I know all to well how the Army works, and this is not it. When recruiting new soldiers/officers this is not how they are treated. I know a majority of you are in the military for the first time or are going in for the first time and are just goin...

    Why does everyone who is in their late thirties or early fourties think they are old? I think that is a sorry excuse.

    I am sure the desert can get old! Eastern is just down the street from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. My wish list consists of Brooke, Tripler, and Madigan. My family and I are really hoping for San Antonio, and at this point thought we ...
