Who has served

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).

Re: Who has served

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.

Re: Who has served

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.

Re: Who has served

USMC
85'-89'
Grunt/81 mm Motars

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.
