My $.02, take it or leave it: Stop... Posting... So much... Personal... Information.
I'm glad you can find support here, but think before you post, please. In the last week, I've seen full names, birth dates, ages, first names, and physical descriptions. Forget about the Staff Office who is reading this, they can probably figure out who you (and your Cadets) are regardless -- though you're making it a lot easier on them. Think about seven months from now when your Cadet is an Officer and is on break-in. He/she is likely to make an enemy or two in their 30-year career; some may one day want to know who you are and where you live. So for your own safety, please don't post anything personally identifiable, no matter how far fetched it may seem. I can tell you from personal experience that tidbits here and there on the Internet go a long way in helping someone find your name and address.
