[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 4192905, member: 21705"]Thank you for your service.

He just recently received a medical discharge as a Captain for a progressive illness unrelated to his service. (Myotonic Distrophy) Now to avoid the confusion, the 12.5% figure was for 100 coins in slabs so 12.5% of 1% to arrive at your .00125 figure. I do not question your training, just whether you have been taught why you're making your calculation rather than how to make your calculations. My criticism is primarily with the education establishment for ignoring theory in pursuit of function. You may disagree, but I've lived it and you at best can only read about it.
