Nothing wrong with being a Jarhead. And Thanks for sticking your neck out for our great country and all that.
Now. I have the same phone as you. So you can either post or send me a personal message with questions. For you I would recommend Saridnours’ AKU 3.5+ Rom here

Read up on the how to.. but here are a few warnings.
1. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE CLEAN. So sync your phone with your computer saving your contacts there. If you wish to keep pictures, music or ringers, Copy them to your PC.
2. Dont bring your customized phone into sprint. It doesnt really matter too much but its not a fantasic idea.
After Installing this it may not want to "Boot" (go back into windows mobile) So you might need UNI_ExitBootloader Found here

Run that and your phone will start up again.
Of course now you need your picturemail back. Find that here

If you want hotmail on your phone use windows live. This includes windows messenger and will alert you everytime you get a new message.

Hopefully that will keep you busy for a while. Let me know what else you need
