I definitely used this site as a tool to learn from those who have walked before me, but like you said about the anonymity of online sites like these, I would rather be gone than risk my chances with someone finding out my true identity.Contact Tactical Nuke. I am sorry to see you leave. Rough thread and probably wasn't what you were expecting. But everything in life is a learning opportunity. I hope you were able to do some research on the USCGA and learn some info, there are some great posts out there on the academy on life as an officer.
