Suit yourself. You've been aptly warned in advance that *your* attitude won't be tolerated by the real powers that be.

Not to worry. I've already made book not to deal with you at all in the future.

Good luck with your "I can do what I want, where I want" attitude, sport. It doesn't work like that in real life. Have a special day.

It wasn't used as a weapon or bragging but as a response to you trying to lecture me about life. I sure don't need anyone including you to tell me how real life works. Further, you started this whole debacle with your flippant remark about me posting in the wrong forum so don't try to mask your responsibility in this matter by attempting to shame me about my military service. I could care less what you or anyone else thinks about my past. And don't insinuate my service is presumptive, I would never stoop to that level. I have to ask though I have never heard of anyone except general officers with  40 years of service. Are you saying 9 years of active and 31 years of reserve?  Usually folks only get a total of 30. Like to know how that worked? In my case the extension of world responsibilities extended my service beyond 30.  I do apologize and respect your service but that's as far as the apology goes.
