Hi Everyone, I am currently talking to my local Army recruiter about re-enlisting in the Reserves. I have a BA and MA in Sociology, but was told I cannot go directly into Officer's training due to some credit issues I need to clean up first (I will u...

I can't figure out how to reply to the private message you sent. I don't see a reply button anywhere. Do I have to upgrade my account? If so, I'll stick to public posts. :) Thanks for all your help today. You've been great! I will look for an office...

i'm not very computer savy, so i don't know what "pm your email to me" means. but i don't think i will get hate mail if i give it to you hear. (please do not post email addresses in the public message boards. it is against our terms of service. th...
