Well born in '76 so not much I can add about most of the questions but 9/11-
I had just taken the bar exam and had orders to report to Justice school to start active duty in the Navy at the begining of January. I was working as a legal clerk and had spent the morning fighting with Lexis-nexis because the internet was really super-slow that morning (go-figure). One of the partners came in and said "Haynes, you picked a hell of a time to join the military". He told me what happened. I stepped into the breakroom in time to watch the second tower come down live on TV. I immediately walked back in and tried to get my detailer to get me active duty orders 3 months early (they wouldn't). Wierd day. I also got a speeding ticket on the way to work that morning...
