The reason I like a passport is so I can get interesting stamps from places I go, but your reason is just as good as mine. I don't know you but I see what you write and it sounds like your whole life your philosophy has been if there's something you want you do the work to get it. No reason to change now.

Also, today is the Marine Corps birthday so I raise a glass to you and to my brother-in-law.

Thank you..and to all the other vets here, today is Veteran's Day.  Lots of places are giving meals, deserts, and a myriad of other things to vets.  All it costs is the effort to go visit them and to show some form of ID proving your status.

 

My VA card and Arizona drivers license both qualify.  A DD214, discharge papers, military ID, and others all qualify and most places seem to be delighted to offer this.
