You know how it is, too many acronyms to consider! 
Your situation basically fits into the scenario I described when I said, "For this story to make any sense..." Which, conveniently enough, is apparently what scoobis understands to be the case about his friend.
Given your experience and background, do you think your former ROTC colleagues would have the gall to say, "Nah, she never went to Kuwait or Iraq, she's making that up."?
At any rate, you must have had some ups and downs between 2002-2004! Thanks for serving!

I'm sorry if it sounded as though I was trying to correct you-you had all your information correct....but, as you stated...Yes-there are way too many acronymns in the military-so, that can be very confusing....
I doubt people in ROTC would say that about me. Generally-I dealt with some really great people. You never know, though-some people are just mean...maybe they would have tried bringing that kid down....
I didn't really have any downs between 2002-2004 except that it kind of sucked I was "older" when I joined my sorority (I was 21) so I felt REALLY OLD some of the time-thankfully...the sisters were very sweet about the whole thing...As far as thanking me for my service-THANK YOU....I understand that not everyone agrees with the war (as a Conservative-I'll admit there are things I am starting to re-think and re-view on my part regarding war all together) but, it irks me when people put down the military for doing their job so I want to THANK YOU for being respectful of the military and also for representing your GLO so well!
I hope all works out with this pledge!!!
