Actually my entire best friend's family is military. His dad was marine recon and is now retired from the Ohio National Air Guard, his brother is a Staff Sgt in the ONAG stationed at Mansfield Lahm airport, he (my best friend) is a Marine Gunney in intelligence, who actually is in Iraq has been since Jan.

I have 3 neighbors in my building that are serving 2 in the reserves and one a marine recruiter. We talk quite often.

I still have shipmate friends in the Navy that I correspond with, 2 in particular that we write to each other at least once a month or so.

One of my uncles was a retired Master Sgt. in the Air Force, his son my cousin Jeff is in the USAF.

Another uncle was an Air Force fighter pilot in Vietnam, and both of his sons are fighter pilots.

I love ya Irate, but don't assume things about me, simply ask and I will answer. I have quite a bit of military contact both in retirees and reservists/active. I really thought you were above personal attacks Irate.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
