I have some contacts within the agency who have made it clear that I shouldn't give them a reason not to hire me (as in 'losing' me to the Military), and wait till I'm off probation to get all the pertinant information needed to join the Army. So, I can't go that route.
I also wasn't demanding information, I was asking (for the record).
Anyways, thanks anyways, guys. Much respect to all of you.

Donny:
And I think you lack focus and attention to detail.
I did not use the word childish, though now that you mention it, you are starting to sound like my children.
Since I am viewing this as a 48 year old, and I am allowed significant latitude, from my perspective, at 21 and given the way you are acting, you are a kid. If you were in the Army, you might call me "The Old Man", though not to my face. You do not know me (and clearly you have not looked around PS.com much before taking this tack), but I am at a point in my life where I have accomplished many of my goals and I am not impressed with you or your comments.
If my comments have offended you, you may want to consider another line of work. You show up at any Army or Marine Corps basic training with the attitude you have displayed here and acting like this, you are going to get a very rude awakening, very quickly. If you plan to post here again, I would strongly recommend that you consider your next comments carefully before you make them, or just move along to another site more tolerant of 21 year old paintballing kids.
As I recently reminded someone else, the first thing to remember when you realize that you are in a hole is to stop digging. I think that you have received sound advice, and are starting to wear on a nerve. Take whatever action you deem appropriate.
Have a very SF day.
