What Was Your Rank?

[wallmaxx]

My first post to here is to my fellow Army brothers.

I enlisted E-1. Made E-5 in three years. 11B2P Airborne Infantry

Then it was suggested I look into Officer Candidate School. OCS chose the Signal Corps for me and I got out after 1LT(P) 25A...6 years total. I cracked my tailbone on a night jump into a ditch on Veghel DZ in Ft Campbell. Not enough damage for a medical out...but enough to keep me from being an asset to the team.

I worked with the best men in the Army. Other than being my son's dad, this was the best time of my life.
