You served your country as many on here have served theirs. Each branch of the service is as important as the other and they have their own individual mission, which if not performed puts the missions of the other branch's missions at risk.

I like to play chess. Chess is all strategy, and no luck. Games with luck are not as challenging to me. I appreciate that there is a lot of luck inherent in combat...but you can maximize "luck" through proper training and planning.

As a former chess player, it was considered bad form to talk up your game. Here, I have ten posts. I am a noob. Doesn't matter what my background is, I have to pay my dues.

Just think of this as a huge chess game with many pieces on a very big board. There is a degree of "luck", but it balances out in the end. Do enough right things, you win.

I am more than willing, once I get a handle on the game mechanics, to allow myself to get whupped like a rented mule. Sounds like fun!

Maybe early, but you will get things figured out.
