Who has served

[sgtbreeden]

Just thought it would be interesting to know who on the forum has served or is serving in the military.

History of where you served might be interesting as well.

I spent 7 years in the US Army and loved it.

History: Kosovo, Russia, Ukraine, China, Iraq


I joined when I was 19 because I thought that I would be able to learn a trade. Much to my mistake it did not work out that way (i sell cars now).

Going on 22 years USAF. Had all my ducks in a row to go to First Sergeants School but decided I will set up for my retirement once I get back to the states in July instead. I'd be a great shirt so they all tell me but I think I have giving enough to Big Blue and as I look at it I am working for 2/3rds my pay now. I love the AF and would recommend it to any young kid coming out of school both H.S. or College. I have raised three wonderful, well adjusted kids around the world with two in college and one on the way...not bad for a dumbass that almost dropped outta H.S.

Can't exactly say I "served."
I was in the last batch of draftees.
It was pretty much a waste of time
for me and for the Army.

Let a retired Coastie welcome you to the jungle. Hope you keep counting those days. You're almost on the downhill side.

I appreciate the welcome. I'm definitely in for the long haul... can't see myself enjoying any other job as much as I enjoy this.

Not a bad time, learned alot and saw alot of the world I probably won't see again. Just wish that I had been a little more mature at the time to appreciate where I was and what it offered.
