All of this has been said, but I feel that I needed to comment even over a week after reading this:
This site is an outstanding source for all that are interested in the Navy and Marine Corps: from the interested and wanna-bes to the officers serving or that have served. I find myself spending an excessive amount of time here, reading, learning, and helping where I can; it truly is addictive. I would sincerely like to thank all that are involved in making these forums run so smoothly and effectively; understanding the risk of sounding like a kiss-ass, I still feel the need to say this.
