Well here I am. Things are going well so far, a huge thanks to
loganvobis and
wonderwoman0611.  I've got a new cell number so whoever wants it, drop me a note at swordhawk7 (at) gmail (dot) com.  Also, I know this is going to ruffle a few feathers but know it's the right thing for me and I am extremely proud/happy/excited about it right now... anyway, apparently, my crusty old butt is still prime enough for the Army Special Operations Command to want in it's service so as of Monday night at 10:40 PM, I've sworn my oath to give 12 months of service as a Civil Affairs Specialist in the Reserves.  If I can cut the mustard physically, I'll be heading to jump school and to Civil Affairs school (both three weeks).  The build-up is painful already and I've just started but judging from all the kids half my age at the MEPS (Military Entrance Preparation Station) when I was inprocessing, I'm in pretty darn good shape.  Even for a young guy.  Go figure, right?  The world never ceases to amaze me.  Also there was only one guy who came close to my scores on the entrance examination (known as the ASFAB) and he was going into OCS (officers' candidate school) which it's good to know none of the other chuckle-heads was heading that way.  Anyway, enough babbling.  I'm real excited about this and thrilled to be in the same Company as
loganvobis... the world may never be the same...
