Dang...you guys sound old.
Still got my hair, albeit it's gone from brown to grey. While not near my fighting weight, I like to believe I'm just a bigger version of my 19 year old love machine self.
My only request...if you want to thank me for anything, don't foist your "thanks" upon me. Now, if you want to buy me drinks, that's an entirely different "thing". I'll take them.
GI Bill.....it paid for my tuition, books, housing. If I were an 18 year old today, and wanting to go to college, I'd enlist. You get tuition, books, housing, and while your compatriots are coming out with a mountain of debt, you'd be getting a degree for free.
