My senior year of undergrad I juggled 18 credit hours, a full-time internship, a part-time job, and a boyfriend. I was exhausted, but I loved every minute of it! Being busy isn’t always so bad when there are fantastic opportunities available. Funny how in law school I have more free time than ever, since they don’t let us work. I can’t figure out why my classmates are always stressed; we go to class 16 hours a week, and that’s all we do! Plenty of time to study!

Joe Allen I agree with your thought on PTSD. The world needs to care more about our vets. My son is doing him second tour in Iraq and he has friend who are having PTSD. Best to you and your fight. God Bless America

Joe–that story about the “incomplete” Vietnam records was on “60 minutes” last Sunday as well. Hopefully the national TV coverage will help shame the gummint into doing something.
As for Toggle’s mom being trailer park trash, well, as someone who grew up in a trailer park, I can only say that she’d be trash even if she lived in a mansion.

tcambeul: I don’t really care what you think in your little Doty-loving mind, but for the record, I was gung-ho enough to voluntarily enlist for three years, instead of waiting for the draft (my serial # starts RA, not US). And yes, that remark was made for Little Joe, who continually regales us with stories of his career as a clerk-typist in a comfortable office in a large city. We know that, over and over already, and I have heard nothing to indicate there is ANY reason Mighty Joe should in ANY way be bothered by PTSD,. Could be this is why it is “unofficial” - I think he is not an honest person, period. You believe what you want and I will do the same.
