For the remainder of my years in the Army, I plan on staying on the ground.
Hey, I guessed it! Glad to see that you have had your fun and now you can sit back and say, I did that, no regrets.
BTW, thanks for all you do for our country. We (us non-military) sometimes (well, a lot of time) get complacent about our freedoms here in the U.S. After studying U.S. History II and reading about all the lives lost in the wars, I just gotta say, 'thank you'. It's so small and what you all do is so big, but it's all I can do....so there you have it, "Thanks!"
