I had a friend that went into the USMC Combat Engineers before I enlisted. When we asked him what he was doing, he replied that one week they build a bridge or structure and the next they blow it up.

USAF MSGT Retired
Started on C-141's, C-5's, C130's. Then ended my career as a 1st Sgt for Security Forces. 20 years and 2 days. Loved every minute of it, saw the world a couple times over.
Have to be honest. I will not let my kid join in today's PC world.
Oh, the best part. Ronald Reagan signed my enlistment, George W. Bush signed my retirement.

Did my turn in the rice, and rain, as a combat medic.... Left honorably as an E-5...1967
It crossed my mind to stay in, but I figured I did what the United States Government
asked, instead of running to Canada... That being said, I'm proud of me...

I served 26 years. I was a lieutenant-colonel serving in the Pentagon when I got a great job opportunity on the outside. To retire in grade I needed 3 years. I had 2, so retired with rank of Major. Turned out to be the very best for my family so it's OK. Any of you out there serve with AFRTS? I was the XO of AFN in Germany and the Commander of SEB, the network for Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. AFRTS, now AFN does a great job for all troops and their families overseas and does it well. Still going strong too!

I am a disabled vet who served in the US Army for 9 years, 18 months of which were oversees which included a tour in Vietnam. I was both Jumpmaster and Flight Commander and was honorably discharged at the rank of Captain. On a very personal note, I wish to thank all those men and women who served and are serving in our Armed Forces. I know I am not alone when I say your sacrifices to protect us all are greatly appreciated.
