Agoroth,
If you see in the bottom corner of the responses for each forum there is a button to "Reply with quote". The button next to it is to reply to multiple quotes. This makes it easier to reply to different conversations and not have to type each persons name. Hope this makes things easier...
Awesome! I am going on 16 years myself in the Navy. We have a lot of military/former military here in Tar Valon! My buddy is actually going back to DC here soon too.
