BTW: I have double and triple checked my profile, there is nothing that even mentions "18D" as far as I am concerned I am a 91W in training untill I get the title 18D. the only question I have is my Unit...I drill with the 5/19th SFGA, may I put that down or leave the spot empty?

Good story. OTOH, he could have named you David Alan.
I threatened to name our kids by filling out the papers while the wife was asleep, but thought that she might be a while getting over it.
You deleted the second 18D mention after I posted my last comment.
You can use the unit designation of you are drilling with them or have orders assigning you to them.
Welcome aboard.
