I read the 7 Dark Tower books by Stephen King and I havnt read anything since as I'm convinced I'll finish another book and be like "meh, wasn't as good" those books have ruined my reading they're so amazing!
On the up side I got the Game of Thrones books and I'm going to start ploughing into them soon.

I've been listening to the audio book version of A Game of Thrones. It's fantastic. I'm going to read the rest of the series when I finish listening to this one.

I'll take 80 over 20 any day. It's not hot until it 100 in Texas xD


I'm just now getting caught up on the tv show but I've finished all the books. :) Game of Thrones is awesome.

I love the Dark Tower books. I read The Gunslinger when I was 12 or 13. I was freaked out so bad when King got hit by that car thinking the series would never come to an ending.

Wow, that sounded a little selfish :-/

Nah, AF tests too. I think the Navy cycles are a little quicker than the AF cycles. This is my first time eligible for the E-7 test and sewed on E-6 November 2011

Once you hit E5, you become eligible for next rank 3 years later, unless you're an early candidate... I need to make E6, but I probably won't have a shot for another year and half, and I've been eligible for the past 3 years

It's about the same then... test for E-5 in Jan, make first time but find out in August, line number equals next august before u sew on, so don't test that year, can't test the firat year u put on so miss another year, then finally scheduled..... Test E-6 blah blah blah. I feel your pain. Sucks u cant test if your eligible though: the AF is a lot different, if your eligible, unless your in bad trouble, you test no matter what.
