    amanda sue replied to amanda sue's topic in Psychiatric

    Thank you for your response, kimee. That seems to be the general feeling I'm getting from talking to people about this and reading about it. I guess it's better to start out more "general" and then...

  13. Thinking about joining AF...Questions

    amanda sue replied to mommy3k's topic in Government, Military
