This is strange, some of you guys have made me feel a little old. Usually it's the other way around, like when I tell one of my senior NCOs in his mid 30s that I was born in 1983. The looks they get on their faces are hysterical. If you don't want to do the math that makes me 19, since I was born in July. Not old enough to drink, not even here in Korea, but old enough to join the army. And naive enough to do it and expect to like it. I feel a lot older now than when I was 18.
Asha'man, I see you must be another Robert Jordan fan. I'm re-reading those books myself right now, currently on The Lord of Chaos. I'm starting to wonder if they'll ever be finished though; ten books in twelve years and no end in sight. They're still great reading though.
