Welcome, keyto123, and I'll add my own comments to this unique introduction.

I know that some (uninformed) ppl think that "jap" is just short for Japanese and don't realize that it is quite offensive. I'm quite sure keyto123 didn't mean anything by it, right?

Yes, I am Japanese. Born in Japan. Raised in Louisiana. Became an American. Retired from the US Army after 22 years and residing in Georgia.

Don't use "jap".
