From the 19-year-olds I've seen with that level of clearance, I'd say that Thrifty Car Rental displays more prudence. But from what I know of LANTFLT that doesn't surprise me either.Khan said:My sister had a top-secret security clearance at the age of 19 (worked in the office of the Commander of the Atlantic Fleet), but would not have been able to rent a car.
So you are saying its when you have kids of your own, hunh?Nords said:After considerable thought on the subject, I think you're an adult when you stop wishing that you were treated like an adult or could behave like an adult... and when you start wishing that you didn't have to be the adult.
You don't have to be an adult to reproduce, but you sure have to be one to raise the results!donheff said:So you are saying its when you have kids of your own, hunh?
