You folks are all invited to my promotion party / pub crawl at Cheers and Peace Clubs in Tongduchon, South Korea next Saturday. Food and drinks are free, but I won't pay for your airfare. [:D]

Have a SOJU on me sir. I was in the 1/503 at Casey from 96-97. P.S can you send me a bottle of that stuff. Damn I loved it. Threw many a game of darts and drank many SOJU's at Peace club. Have fun. Regular Army from 1988-2000 (11B3V) left as a SSG, now I'm a full timer in the MOARNG as an engineer.

Four years in the US Army.

I was not just a REMF, I was a super-REMF.

But, we spent more time in the field than the grunts, gun-bunnies and tread-heads.

Sort of the worst of both worlds. Twice the work and none of the respect. And the first to die. Everyone should have to do this.

Another snipe here. EM3 when I got out in 1973 after 4 years.

As for the Marines VS. Sailor stuff, can't we all just get along.[:D]
When I was in, we sailors and the Marines bickered among each other, but let someone else start something with either, we would all be side by side defending each other.

I'll soon be going into USAF OTS if I pass the test and the board accepts my application.

OTS scares the hell out of me. I know it's only Air Force but it will be a HUGE change in my life, going from an undiscpilined sob to having so much responsiblity, and being held accountable when I make mistakes (which I will do).
