    My 18th birthday was at USMCRD SDiego. The DI's were nice enough to throw a "private party" for me in the hot locker.
    After graduation and being home on leave, I registered in May of 1978 and have been an active voter ever since.

    Wow you be taking me back here. As best as I can recall it was in 460 BCE in Athens. I don't remember the guy's name but he won but before he could take office his wife poisoned him and talk about sore losers.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
