Hi Dave,
RH> 20/20 hindsight. I was somewhat hesitant when Steve told me about it
RH> but the longer he was in, the more I knew it was a smart choice and
RH> really enjoyed a lot of it. Didn't like the separations of course but
RH> he never did deploy to a war zone.
DD> All the "lifers" that I know are glad they did it.
It's a steady job with little (but some) chance of a lay off. If you go
in young enough, you'll retire with enough years yet for a 2nd career
and have 2 retirement checks. Steve didn't do that but with Social
Security, retirement and disability pay, we're able to meet our bills
and have a bit left over.
RH> I've seen similar that have had a topping of crushed corn flakes so
RH> have never tried it. Maybe try something like this, but in a smaller
RH> quantity.
DD> You could have subbed Wheaties, Grape-Nuts Flakes, or Bran Flakes for
DD> the Kellog's. Whoops, just checked - Wheaties contains corn - so it's
DD> a no-no. But Bran Flakes or All-Bran will work.
RH> Or, use something like potato chips for a double potato dish.
DD> Or Ritz crackers if you don't want the extra salt that comes w/tater
DD> chips.
True, there's usually a work around for most anything if you look hard
enough.
