You're right, it can be done if you wanted to bad enough. I could stop drinking too, if I wanted to.

I basically told her that I spent the majority of 2014 in Afghanistan, and since I had retuned to the states in December (OBAP was in August of 15) I had been volunteering with coaching my sons' t-ball team. That didn't seem good enough of an answer for her. That's when she went on about the United Way, yada, yada.

Anyway, I'm perfectly content to work at a place where I was hired based on my credentials and people are free to volunteer because they want to, not because they profit from it somehow and it makes them look good.
