Damn, this has the making to be an epic thread.
I bet you're living with mommy and daddy, sucking your mommy tit and they're still changing your diaper. You have a lot of growing up to do. And with your mouth, I don't think you'll see old age. Someone will cap your a$$ just for GP.
You want respect, you have to give it. It's a two way street. Until that happens, expect this kind of treatment.
I'm one of the old timers you talk about. At the age of 25. I had 3 yrs of combat in. Finished my degree in welding engineering. Married. Bought my first house. Had Trans-Am, 4x4 truck and a Harley. I'm retiring this year at the age of 59. When you get to my age. Will you be able to retire at 59? You're 24 and still in school? Boy, you're slow.
