I want to apologize to everyone for being so curt
Welcome Chris,
Brother that IS the beauty of this place, we have all been there and done that and we also have similar issues. Where a civilian might take offense at your being short and curt, by an large we all do the same thing (at times) and understand. We also won't judge you for it, or anything you say or reveal. But we have your back, your front, and your flank.
So read a bunch, talk when you feel like it. Good to see you found us.
