[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1821733, member: 110896"] May I ask as to how you lost your leg? If your injury is related to military service, I stand and salute your sacrifice for the defense of my Liberty. I had my chance to join in Fall 1976. The time came when the recruiting sergeant asked me to stand and raise my right hand. In the few seconds it took for him to utter those words my testicles evaporated, I grew a vagina and subsequently ran from the recruiting office like a little girl. The only dignity I retained was that I did not issue forth with a shrill scream, like would a frightened little girl. Had I enlisted, I would have retired in about 2007 or 2008 as an O-6. I tested well above the average ASVAB score and I was going to enlist to eventually become a brass hat on a Trident after college to become a Nuclear Engineer. Three years as a swabbie, then off to school. Graduate with at least a 2.5 GPA I think it was, accept a commission and begin a Navy career on a nuclear submarine. At the moment of truth I wet my pants, turned and ran away from what had enormous potential for me and for the wife and kids I do not have today. Biggest mistake of my entire life. I can see the whole episode in my mind's eye like it was yesterday. The past cannot be lived a second time. We make our mistakes, and God has us live with them. It's a learning process He dreamed-up, I think. I keep failing His classes... [/QUOTE]
