They don't require proof of 12 months future income on civilians.<br /><br />Thanks for seeing things through a guard point of view.SHILLIG4FAMILYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000541184230953376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19735801.post-41555097804431665922010-07-21T10:10:49.424-04:002010-07-21T10:10:49.424-04:00This is so screwed up.
