Springroll - Like it or not, you are attracting attention. This is the second thread today that I have locked, that you have been involved in. Quite awhile back, I noted in a thread, your irritating habit where you absolutely HAVE to have the last word.
Please - slow down and bite your tongue for awhile. Otherwise, rightly or wrongly - your days here are numbered. I don't think you are a malicious person, nor do I think you post here with the intent of being disruptive. Sadly it seems, that has often been the result, in your brief history on the board.
No one doubts your tenacity, nor your ability to endure adversity, nor your commitment regarding your career path. That being said, there are many people on this board who have military experience that numbers in double digits. Over the years, we grow to have a feel for thos who have the combination of qualities to make it, and those who won't. Most here feel that you won't. Not because of your personailty at home, nor your volunteer experiences, or your intelligence level - toughness, independence, and determination can be a hinderance in life, as well as a boon. I would offer that your husband may not be the best judge of whether you can make it, as he loves you very much I am sure, and therefore lacks objectivity. Nor would your friends and family necessarily be the best judges. I can assure you that you have hundreds, maybe thousands of years worth of service looking at you and not thinking you will make it. Knowing you (online, I agree) - that will just get your hackles up, and that is part of my point. In the Military, you will have to follow/listen to people who you don't know, or think are stupid - without hesitation. It may be years before you can, without retribution - have the last word with people that are your superiors. If you want to say "Well, this is just the internet - you don't know me" - that's fine also. If it's just the internet, you shouldn't need to be so adamant about making your point.
Please - sit back, put it in "Park" instead of "Race" for awhile. If a Mod has to get involved with another thread that you are also involved in your warning will be upped, or you will be gone. Whether or not you are blatantly violating Conduct Guidelines, your presence here is starting to be disruptive.
Thanks in advance.
