Otherwise, in manner in which it was cited in this application form, the act of being a "Guard" can be interpreted in all sorts of ways (but considering the nature of this post, <strong>it is clear that it is in a capacity other than that of being a guard AS a soldier</strong>). However, in that I'm not interested in engaging in the "speculation game" in this again, I cannot yet give a definitive answer. The only thing I can do at this point is to look into the actual legislation on my next trip to the Library of Virginia.
