USA 1997-2001 (Active Duty Time...IRR is a given) From 1997- early 1998 Fort McClellan, AL USACMLS...yep, bugs n' gas...  1998-early 2000 HHC 2ID Korea and B Btry 1-15 FA 2000-2001 B Trp 1/11 ACR (OPFOR), Fort Irwin, NTC, Beautiful Downtown Barstow, CA. For some reason, I did way too many things OTHER than my assigned MOS...but, that's the way it goes. Oh, I did get a nice imprint on my BDUs from the Indianhead...but other than some pieces of metal and ribbon, and some really good stories, all I got out of it was college and a DD214. |

I haven't served, but I do have a great respect for those who do. My sister is currently serving in the USAF. She just made Colonel 2 months ago! She's a graduate from the USAF Academy and worked hard to become a medical doctor. Served in overseas at a few locations. Only one I remember right now was Turkey (before the invasion of Iraq) [Edited] Damn.. need to remember to hit the spell checker, or learn to spell or reread what I type! |
Just pitching you shit. Just in case that doesn't come across like it.

I think my original post in the last vet thread was USAF 2W251 Nuclear Weapons Tech Lackland AFB, TX 08/98-10/98 Sheppard AFB, TX 10/98-02/99 Minot AFB, ND 02/99-07/02 Loved the perks of my job, loved the AF, but wasn't so hot on the military. Chain of command is awesome, but in the civilian world, I get to walk away from poor leadership and find a new employer.
