Thanks for noticing, Sgt., but unfortunately that's the nature of the beast.

Relax Cynic, I'm sure he was refering to people like me... I go everywhere dressed in all black, from my jeans and t-shirts, to my boots and hat... And the only color on my black truck is the US flag in the rear window, and the Rebel flag on the front bumper...
Safe to say he's refering to me and people like me when it comes to who should not be allowed to own firearms...

Well, that may be true, but I don't remember anything in the Constitution about having to meet particular dress requirements for gun ownership. And, HTR, you can be in my "regulated" or unregulated militia any day.

Sry just one more thing on the college thing, What REALLY bothers me is they don't usually take into consideration military service VS college. Being prior military service I chose it over college . I was way to into partying and knew I needed to grow up. Hmmm that sounds responsible. But still if I was applying for the same job (at least in my career field) and Someone had a degree that person would probably get it. I have seen more people with degrees,by far, than without not stay with it for the long haul.
College is a good thing but not a mandatory for life, thats just my point.
Sry to vent but now I fell better.

Just an FYI, a coworker pointed out to me last night that my reply seemed "kind of short"... Here's the original:

What "new" formula? It's simple math. The formula should be (Graduates this year / Seniors this year) x 100. Simple, basic math. But considering the number of adults with high school diplomas who are functionally illiterate and/or can't calculate their correct change in the supermarket line without looking at the register display, I guess these new formulas work.

And here is what was actually printed after editing:
