You learned fast or you were pushed aside. 20+ years of constant opportunities for the taking. You are forced to stand up and be counted or you get eaten alive. I believe in the compulsary service idea myself. I think every young person should have that kind of encouragement to help them figure out what they want to do with their lives. You grow up fast.
Its true. The older you get the faster time goes by.

I have been to the base in orlando many times. I use to live in winter springs. You might have something with the mandatory service idea . But on the other hand . Do you really want someone there that does'nt want to be there ?.
