You also had the audacity to refer to the Free Masons as being inferior. I'm sure their many members who have belonged to the Masons, an organization that has been around for many years (longer than any GLO), would disagree with you. Also, as someone who is incredibly involved in various alumni associations, I'm here to tell you that it is nothing like Greek membership. While my alumni association membership has been a blessing, it does not mirror my Greek membership. If anyone needs to dial it back, it's you with your horrible advice.

OK, so just FYI, if you don't think people give-out advice about joining the military on message boards, I strongly suggest you stay away from military.com's forum "advice on joining" and, well, basically the rest of the internet. As for your concern that I don't know his BMI or standing heart rate ... uh ... there's this thing called MEPS ... he can't print-out my post and use it to go straight from GreekChat into an IT battalion on the DMZ.
I'm sorry I've upset you so terribly, but I do hope you feel better.
(P.S. As a brother of one of the oldest Research Lodges in the U.S., and a member of the Grand College of Rites, I thank you for letting me know the Masons have "been around for many years." [sic] Valuable information, indeed.)
