Gap, That's awesome. Congrats. I am leaning toward 2 CER myself, for a posting, but I will take whatever they give me...um... like I would be able to say no. Nothing against the other areas, but Pet would be better for my wife, not too far from her home, give her some support while I am away...

Well, I am now a member of the "Mob". Got sworn in, then Celebrated St. Barbara's day. Great timing on getting Sworn in, then an excuse to pig out. I do find it odd that the Combat Engineers don't have their own Patron Saint, but borrowing the Artilleries Saint will have to do I guess. Anyone...

This will be my first (hopefully of many) post on here. I have been given an offer of employment, infact I get sworn in, in three days. Of course since I am posting here you can guess my trade (043). I have been doing a bunch of reading, and I want to thank everyone for their posts. They have...
