I've been there, bro. Had a special job in the USAF, and now that I'm out, especially being right after 9/11, you'd think everyone would be all about giving a former soldier a chance. NOPE! You're just another joe that had some great experiences that you can look back on, but can't do dick with. :rolleyes: My best friend was a tanker, M1A2 not fuel, and was one of the first units in Afganistan. He fought for his country, and has multiple awards and medals. Did he get a break? HELL NO.
