Hi! Please do not view me as being insensitive, but..... Not sure why it would? If they don't ask, why would you tell? Does the Celiac disease drastically alter your Activities of Daily Living? Can you do just about anything EXCEPT eat anything and e...

I echo the others who have posted above me.... You are barking up the wrong tree! I was with the Reserves then went to the active side-of-the-house. Those who are RC raise their right hand and state the same Oath as you did/do. Those group of Reservi...

Hey Lunah: Nope....sigh.....nothing yet. I am like you, always doing "something" so my not being in class this semester really rots my socks. We have to wait for the powers-that-be on the Army side of the house to bring it back (Obama et al did the r...
