I'm just now becoming acquainted with it. Waaay before my time, I'd like to add, but I do feel old. I feel old when my kids want to run. I feel old when I can't fix my boat because I won't stand there another minute trying to divine which of the 360 notches on the 2inch plastic gear are neutral. Not because I don't want to beat the pump, but because I know I'll fall down before I do. The Wife used to sell fire sup. systems, she had this sales pitch that I've adapted to my life.

"It's only a matter of time".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Sometimes getting old really sucks, doesn't it?

It ain't for pussies, that's fo' sho.
