Yes, I have stood in lines, been on phones, and now computers. Things have changed a lot over the years. Ultimately like Rakkin said it is a military base and training takes priority. I am glad the active duty and retired get more slots and opportunities as they should, I appreciate their service ! I was more explaining to the Duke the process as he said that he had never been. My point was you can get all your stuff ready to go but a plan B like Higgs003 has in place is definitely a good idea ! Lol
