So you didn't step up and do it again after 9/11. Just the one term. Easier to bluster about tough guy stuff than actually eff up your life, cost a marriage and career, and deploy.
Yeah, I'm a chickenshit. That walked the walk.

The thought did cross my mind. But if the Marines would have taken me back I would question their judgment.
I still couldn't live with myself if I could save someone by acting and chose no to.

Oh, sorry, I forgot. You’ll be slinking off the train. Might want to wait until it stops, however. Wouldn’t want to lose another stand-up citizen.

I'm capable of calculating relative velocities.
You, on the other hand, seem to rush ahead without a clue.

You didn't list years, hero. Lets us play. ;)
I cooked for tip of the spear. Before that, I was 32653B. I can convert MOSs to USAF specialty codes.

I've traveled on Amtrak at least a dozen times and I've never had any problem taking a firearm on board in my carry on luggage.
None.

I have the advantage of asking for help re-enlisting right after 9/11. Here. In this forum. Getting around the deaf as a post thing.
It worked. I lost 6 years, a wife, and 32 teeth.

Convert away.
I believe this discussion is terminated, Cookie. I’ve got more important things to do.
BTW, braveheart, too bad you don’t have the nerve to post here under your full/real name.

Thank goodness. I was so afraid you wouldn't like me any more.
Do try to draw fire when you slink off so the men can deal with the bad guys.
/Conversation with johnny.
