=======Brian is 32 and about 6 foot tall. He's not a huge guy, but he's big 
enough. Bill and I met when Brian was 7 years old. He's never wanted to be 
anything but a solider. He considered the Marines, but backed at at the very 
last minute when Bill really grilled the recruiter hard on some "promises" 
he had made earlier on. When Brian finally heard "...can't really promise 
you anything in writing..." he put the pen down and joined the Air Guard. 
Then, he switched to the Army Reserves.
