[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3882871, member: 35036"] 1) understandable, missing a kidney would make military a no go for sure, and I can completely understand your feelings about the military/gov/society relationship, I feel the same. 2) I dated a girl who’s mom would preach to her daughters “you better get your B.S. before you get your M.R.S., there’s no diamond diplomas in this household”.
