    So. I finally got a gmail account.

    Quid is pleased.

    I couldn't live without my gmail. So much better than my ancient hotmail account. Of course I run two gmail accounts now, and my first one I made back in 2005 or so when you needed an invite.

    I never really used email enough to care what I used.

    Also, key lime pie with fresh strawberries is awesome.

    Is it real key lime, made with key limes? I ate when people make lime pie and call it key lime, they taste different! Sorry, this was a discussion my mom and I had since we both love Key Lime pie.

    That and I am jealous because I love both it and strawberries.

    I also use google docs, gtalk and picassa from google. They own my soul almost as much as Sony.

    Made with real key lime juice, but not fresh squeezed or anything. It was quick, cheap key lime but we're saving for the move and it curbed the craving.

    Do you bake keys into the limes beforehand?

    I've pretty much completed my emergency medicine course here at Fort Sam... I wonder if, if I look into this West Point thing, they're going to make me be an officer in this field. I don't know if I want to be a trauma Lieutenant with zero experience.

    Hopefully the military isn't quite that incompetent in that particular fashion.

    No, that's exactly how officer commissions work. When we were in basic, we were sometimes training alongside ROTC guys that would just come out on the weekend and do a watered-down version of what we were doing, just for "exposure." We'd laugh at them, because we knew that they were going to finish college, then go to basic training, and then be officers, taking command of enlisted personnel that would have their level of experience or more. Sometimes decades more. Guys that are just coming off officer commissions are called "Brand New LT's", and they're a joke in the army. The only people that go to attention for them are boot-ass privates like myself, and even we're pretty relaxed about it. I mean, as relaxed as you can be about going to attention.

    I mean, they'll have me go through a little more training. But it's still only training, not real experience, and I'd be expected to take command of a group of soldiers which could be as small as a platoon or as large as a company.

    Good point - do people here frequent specialist websites/forums for their work/study area? I'm not even sure active useful forums exist for my work - and if they did, they would most likely sit behind some sort of paywall given the industry and the existing specialist publishers

    Forgive my ignorance but I think I was absent for the exact reasoning for the breakup in the first place. But I would assume that if it was she who broke up with you then I find it hard for her to not realize that there may be some hard feelings.

    The UK army recently did a review again (they have to every eight years). They completely agree that women would be fully capable of serving, they pulled out the usual 'unit cohesiveness!' bullocks.

    That's true, but only technically. There are a few ways women can serve in combat. For example they can be combat medics because combat medics technically aren't supposed to engage or be engaged in combat (One of the platoon sergeants in my company is a female, has a 1st Cavalry combat patch, and a combat medical badge). Same goes for truck drivers, and probably some other MOS's I'm not aware of.

    Plus, you know, you don't have to be in combat to get someone killed. Especially as an officer.

    They say that, but frontline/notfrontline distinctions are pretty much dead now, so its largely an excuse to pay female soldiers less.
