And don't get me started on rank vs. rating.... that was also a long time where the train don't come.

I finally figured it out after having it 'splained.

If I had grown up with it? I'd be fine.

But after the rivalry of the '80s, to get thrust back into a Joint Everything after 9/11. Learning quickly was the only good option.

I actually studied on the other services.
