| Thanks Flag. Though I called a Marine recruiter last night and asked if there's a chance I could go active marine (I'm nearly 35!) and he said it's possible and made an appointment for me at a US embassy abroad. Perhaps the recent news headlines regarding recruiters falling short of their quotas (for obvious reasons) has something to do with it! |

| Wow, good luck! I was in the Navy but we didn't get along. I'm not militarily inclined no matter what promises I make. After that, I pulled an internship with the most elite fighting force known to man. That would be the US Public Health Service. A force even more exclusive than the US Coast Guard. I wore my officer uniform to Sand Point Naval Station just to make people salute me and it really does give you an erection. Good luck! |

All the whining and complaining about the little things I read, I got the impression that there are a lot of wussies here at the forum. Now, one of you want to join the military at the age of 32. Boy, your life must be really meaningless/  |

Sand Point Naval Station in Washington? There hasn't been a base at that location in many years; it was mothballed a long, long time ago, ~ 1995 How old are you? When I was in the Army, on leaves I would come home and shop at a commissory there. |
