Yes, and mail still comes to the house from the Marines for TJ, and you 
would think Navy-Marines..ok, same database..but no.
Actually, I am still getting college information, too.

Little known is the fact that if you sign up under one branch and decide 
it is not for you, you can actually change into another branch to 
complete your commitment.  There is no official dishonor, either.  Of 
course, I think you lose any deals you made beforehand though.
The son of a family friend entered the Navy when TJ did.  He decided 
during the first week of bootcamp that it wasn't for him.  He actually 
quit and joined the Coast Guard and is now on some icebreak in the 
Antarctic.  He's getting out soon-shorter committment.

And just how is K#5 these days?
