I was actually 18C myself, but no, it looks like I'm not ever going to qualify for SF again. :( It's a shame at my age to be told that you're simply never going to be able to do what you wanted for a living again, but I guess people come to the conclusion on their own every day. It was just... disheartening having it said to me.
Anyways, I still have to wait for my packet to come back approved. I've had my psychiatric waiver for a while now, but I had to go in and take the physical before we sent it out, because it all has to be together as one packet. The whole thing got sent out last Friday, and I'm hoping it'll only be two weeks before I get a response back. As soon as that happens, I'll know what I'm eligible for, but I'm looking at either cavalry or combat engineering.

Place my body on a ship and burn it on the sea,
Let my spirit rise, Valkiries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

Here I am.
I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

18C..hang on...let me look that up...SO Engineering...would that have to do with demolitions and construction? Still sounds like a good job. I had a friend who was, I think, a Combat Engineer. He was over there when they got Saddam...I think he's in Germany now; I have not been in touch with him in a long while, though.
My hopes are with you for getting what you want.

ComicGirl, there you are! 
CMH, this is my idea of weapons cross-training.
Ruger Black Hawk .45 LongColt
That's an 1873 Model Springfield Cavalry Carbine in .45-70 that I have fired once...that's all it took, too. 
And then some of my other 'children':

Tristan- I see the SKS has the Ramline? folder. We used to have some other stock on ours but the length of pull was way too long. Now we have the original wood with a rubber bumper at the end of the grip area. Much better than before. LOVE the Springfield. Reminds me, I gotta link ya still on the repro's.

NVG, yep. The original wood stock was not comfortable at all, even with the extended bumper on it...so, I found this one for a good price, and I have been happy with it. It's just the right size, though I had to put foam on the arm for my face...had a tendency to leave marks. 
Yes, I am quite proud of that Springfield. It falls outside the range of those carried by the 7th under Custer, but only by about three years.
Eagerly awaiting that link!

Hobbleit, please excuse my piggy attitude, but I really want to be the fifth Beatle.
Pig moment over (rarely happens).

I don't think they carry the Springfield repro, but there are some excellent re-hashes they carry. Very worth looking into.
