went back in reserve in 98 to present as an 0-1 currently 0-2 Supply Corp officer. Have stopped drilling since I left CA. I was put on IRR status till I could find a unit here in TX. Have not gotten off my ass to do so yet.

Air Force: July '84 to Oct '93.

Arrived in Saudi Jan 17 '91 (the day the air war started) and stayed till the end of July. For me, it was just one huge exercise.

Being a squid I always question the validity of an outfit called the Marines. I seem to recall a Dept. of the ARMY, NAVY and AIRFORCE, but no dept. of the MARINES. Their paychecks seem to be written out by the Dept of the NAVY. I think these yahoos are just Navy guys in denial. They like to play dress up army guys. [:D][smash][:D]

Forget what that exactly stands for, but I know you're one crazy F#%$ that likes to play around with bombs!

My cousin has one of those medalions with that on it!

Got some great stories about how close he came to blowing himself up a few times, especially in Okinawa.

Ah Crap! I feel like such a dumb ass.

With a name like reconxl, I thought I was dealing with a Marine. I just did notice reconxl's pic under his name. What a dip shit I am.

Sorry reconxl!

Fly High!

P.S. 4 hours on a back hoe, 3 hours cleaning chimneys, 3 hours operating a jack hammer plus a 6 pack of Sam Adam's Cream Stout takes a toll on the senses. My only excuse.

Swedish Navy as a Sergeant 1/st Class, then I signed over to the Swedish Army to go to Bosnia (this was before and during the US intervension.) Had to take a cut in rank to plain Sergeant because I wasn't 100% pure army.

Attached to the 1st US Armored Division as (what I like to refer to) as a "tour guide" once the US showed up.

I was a lieutenant in the Danish army in the 80's - infantry. What is it they say - everyone else in the military are just support troops so the infantry can do its job!

I was in the Royal Guard regiment - combat training 8 months out of the year - guarding the royal family the remaining 4. Very cool unit - uninterrupted 343-year history.

Ok, I'll take the BAIT!

You're right, Lord, the USMC is a dept of the Navy,

THE MEN'S Department!

[:D]

Whereabouts in TX are you, now? There's a Joint-Reserve Base in FT Worth, where the USMC allows the Navy, Air Force and Army to hang out with them. You might try to transfer there.

Semper Fidelis,
