Agreed. But, unfortunately, I followed the standard Marine path: Married, deployed, divorced in 5 years. Thankfully, no kids. I almost went back in in 2007... but, basically, had to choose between that path and my current fiance (of 11 years). I've always had a good aptitude for computers - 95 on asvab and I was a Radio Repairman. Got out in 2005 and got my education thanks to the GI Bill. I do miss it - the best decision I made in my life - but am also happy where I'm at. Chris
