Nope.. I'm not military and have never been. I grew up a military brat and was surrounded by the military growing up. My dad was active army and then army reserve and he nearly had a cow when I said I wanted to be an Apache gunner (which would have to be army), and tried to push me toward the Air Force. I agreed to go to college first and then decide. The vision in my left eye was borderline to get the gunner position, anyway. After a change of major and a severely outdated computer engineering at my university gave me the extra incentive to move up here to WA to be with my fiance (now my wife), I was planning to finish the degree at UW. After some miscommunication from the UW recruiter on whether or not I could be considered a resident when I had lived in Alabama for most of my life :rolleyes: and what it would take to get into the engineering school at UW with only half a year left to go on a degree, I've been working up here ever since. Now that I've got a house and two kids (new one just a month ago), I'm guessing the last two quarters of that degree might not happen. Oh well, I'm in an Information Services Manager position now, so I guess I can do without it.
