..just a by the by with that Liv..one of my son's friends always wanted to be in the army, that was always his dream which he was totally focused on...anyway, he's a very clever/gifted and academic young man and he did go off/do his training etc...but they wanted him as an officer and that wasn't what he wanted at all, he wanted active duty...so he left because being an officer wasn't what he'd wanted at all...
