Wow ..is about all I can say to that. I guess you gotta be in the closet if you play D&D. Since when do they ask what your hobbies are? I can think of many more hobbies that would be detremental...

DCAS, I know who you're talking about. I highly doubt his story...on all fronts. Nobody in any armed forces cares what you do in your spare time so long as it isn't illegal or reflects badly on you...
