:biggrin:The boy chose Marine Corps ground and got it! He is so happy and we're so proud of him. Where're the rest of the '11 mids going?

I'd like to thank Tactical Nuke for all he does over here. I've been following this one thread over on the "dark side," only lurking, and I come away disgusted EVERY time. The name calling, back biting, caustic/cruel remarks, whining, bi***ing, and all other type of poor sandbox/playground...

Question: Do you keep your plebe/cadet on your health insurance, although they will be covered by Tricare? :stretcher:

Okay. Boy has to have his out. He has an appointment and has copies of the letter from his dentist along with the way cool copies of the x-rays they printed onto the letter (I love technology!). Anyway, does he need another letter from the oral surgeon stating that he needs these out, too...
