Four deployment tours, Iraq 04-05 and 08-09 and Afghanistan03 and 06-07.
The family is happy that I am home for a while, promised momma and the kids 24 months at home.
Good thing, my position makes that happen.
Best to all of you who have served, we make it happen, all 1% of us.
To stay in this long one has to either be sick or in love with what they do.
I am not sick, though my wife begs to differ.:biggrin:

11 years US Army. Ordnance branch. ETS 1985. Dept of Army civ. from 1986 until retirement in 2007. Still serving as an American Legion active.
 
For the longest time I regretted being medically retired as I missed the structure in my life. Still, I can say without reservation, the government got more than their share from me. Now, it wasn’t glamorous and it sure as hell wasn't heroic, but it was eventful ~

Regards,
US Army (Ret)

I made PFC 3 times :sarcastic: and ended up a E-4 before I got out but that was back in the old days right after Vietnam and they couldn't keep anyone in the army everyone was coming back and getting out then they even had a deal (not me) where a judge could give you the option of jail or the military.
