Quick side story in response to jazzymom’s post #75 (true story)
In the mid 70’s I went to grad school at a large flagship U in the south after having attended a small, liberal LAC in the north. Got onto campus and was walking with another grad student up a hill, past the ROTC buildings. Admittedly, I was not too familiar with the military back then, during those vietnam war era days. I look over as we were walking past the AFROTC building sign. I turned to the other student and asked “what’s the AFRO -TC?”
When they stopped laughing 15 minutes later, the acronym to me :o Oops!! So embarassing!! I am now married to someone who was active duty military when we met, and stayed in the reserves for an additional 7 yrs. He is commander of his war veterans group. So I don’t make those dumb mistakes any more (just new dumb mistakes).

Now returning to the thread and congrats to the OPs’ daus choices.
