LittleChief, Sorry to hear about your dillema there. That is a very tough chioce there.I have been very lucky and not hurt my shoulder YET! Knees are a different story. Almost missed last season because while going thru rehab a lot of little problems surfaced which is very rare. Ended up doing six months of rehab and finished two days before opening day. Congrats on retiring, I was medically retired after seven years. Always glad to hear from navy people. My nieces husband is currently serving his second tour in Iraq with the USMC. That is always fun when we are tigether. PM me and let me know what you did and where you were stationed. And definitly thank you for your sacrifices.
