Hello Teufelhunde,
Once again, welcome (This time from a fellow new person).
This is really hands down the friendliest, most supportive group of people I have EVER encountered on a message board.
Good for you getting up and going after open heart surgery, sounds like a Jarhead to me (A term I use with the deepest respect).
I tell every Marine I meet that I always feel that I sold myself short by joining the Navy instead of the Corps. I have spent my entire life since then trying to find out what I am really made of. But hey, that’s the journey, man.
I worry about the direction we are taking as well, on main street as much as in D.C.
I do agree that we are in the wrong place to discuss it, but you can message me anytime you want and we can discuss whatever.
