You were a "kid" at 29????
Joe ... quit trying to impose your personal deficiencies on the rest of us.
Sandra Fluke's just one year older, still in school, and begging Uncle Sam to pay for her contraception.
That sums up one of the major problems this country has today: adolescence now continues into the thirties, and it's acceptable to society.
By the time I was 29, I was:
In my seventh year of active duty service, having served in such roles as Platoon Leader, Battalion Supply Officer, and Battery Commander.
Would complete my master's degree within a year, while completing my tour as a battery commander.
My favorite nickname? "The Old Man", of course. Not for my prematurely graying hair, but the nickname ascribed to a unit commander.
