Welcome aboard. Did you get your issue squared away?

NDD,
I am assuming by "issue" you mean my ability to update my profile? If so, yes, and thanks for the help. I appreciate it. CW

Roger. It wasn't me. I don't actually do anything around here but make fun of people. Mostly college boys and 2nd Lts.  Welcome aboard.

We don't mess with SF medics, and here on Professional Soldiers.com we don't mess with Admins, especially SF medic admins.

Hello. I recently enlisted as an 18X and ship out to Benning on 12 MAY 2005.
I'm very excited to have the chance to serve my country.
My thurst for knowledge and natural curiosity led me to search the Internet where I found this wonderful site.
I realize the rigors of OSUT, Airborne, and SFAS are challenging and that the odds are against me--probably more so since I'm older (almost 29). However, I'm not one to quit just because of odds or a challenge.
EDIT: Fixed context of message.
