19 yrs so far having joined at 18, so I don't think you can level the 'military career not for you' comment at me! ... I just don't feel indestructible anymore and need more of an incentive (than, "you can spend 9.5 of the next 17 yrs out of the country, and we won't tell you where you're going next") to literally put my ass on the line these days. The money is 'c0%& all' use to my family if I get wasted in some faraway land (insert as appropriate).

You're right there - I don't, I do, and they don't. My point was that as I provide my own coffee, it no longer classes as 'free' and therefore isn't a 'pro' !!
