Amen to that. I just talked to a young man in our town who is getting called back to active with the Marine Corps, special operations capable type. He's ready to do his duty no regrets or bitterness. God Bless them all.

I turned 60 this January.

I can still pass the PCPT test and shoot expert with pistol, rifle and GPMG.

I am desert familiar from reporter work during DS/DS.

I still jump 4-5 times a quarter, can hump a heavy ruck, am reasonably anti-social, can still curse for half an hour without repeating myself....... and I do so love the work!

If my President calls, I'm ready on 4 hours notice.
