Well that does sound unfortunate for active sailors to see. I don't want to jump the gun, but I do plan to absorb all I can out of it. So hopefully I won't be one of "those guys". Hard to say until you actually get there though. I'm 24, and already slightly more mature than most of the guys I've met going in. I'm the kind of guy that doesn't like to be looked down on as a lesser as it is, so I fully intend to try to earn the respect of anybody I work with worth earning. In short, a "squared away" Reservist if possible. I'm not doing it for handouts, that's for sure. Your response is appreciated however!
