Side note, and question for anyone who might know, I'm a disabled vet, previously deployed... 4 times in fact, but not disabled due to deployment. Would they be delving into my military medical records for this check? I ask because of all the hype and emails I got from Rand Paul saying they are gonna take away previously deployed veterans rights cause we are all obviously suffering from ptsd. Still active duty, but right in the middle of a pcs, address change in 2 weeks, is that going to screw it up also? Terrible timing to try to finally get this done. Did the class in Sep 12 and put off submitting till Feb... crazy people ruining it for everyone else.

Your not being able to log in would be a concern for me.
