Nice to have a fellow 11Boo on the site. If you don't mind me asking, how were you injured? I was injured while in norhern Iraq in 05, took schrapnel in my back and legs. I retired after my 5th WOT deployment, I took 3 in the gut while on patrol in A-Stan so I figured that I had used up all my luck and better get out while I still had a heartbeat. I was headed right back there for one more tour if I would have held out for my 30. I got 27 years in though. Thanks for your service brother.

A Vet
I severed in the U.S Army and was proud of it , unitl you were greeted by people(young kids) who were stupid and didn't realize what a veteran did for their country. I forgave, because they were ignorant. not their fault, but the media. it was cool to hate the army vet, for what reason ,they didn't really know. but it was cool in their eyes. It sucked, if they only knew how to go thru an airport wearing civilian clothes, just so you would not get s--- on was acutually outragious. but hey that was back in the early 70"s i hope these younsters served now, at least some of them and say wow, WAR really sucks" am I ever coming home.

I retired after 20 years and 21 days as an E-7, Master Sergeant, USAF. I usually don't talk much about it, unless someone asks when I show my I.D. to get a discount at Lowes or another store. To be perfectly honest with you, I'm getting far more out of the military than I ever put into it. I was a REMF, flying a desk, and never did anything that even approaches heroics. I did serve in the company of heroes, and my Dad's WWII exploits are legendary. He should have been killed several times, but he always blew off his service with "everybody enlisted after those *********g Japs bombed Pearl Harbor". He never spoke much of the War, but I talked to a guy he served with. What a story. Aviator, spy (the real deal, working in civvies with Italian partisans)and only God knows what else.

thinking back, i never did say what my rank was. after getting busted a couple of times, I was an e/5 or 4. who knows and who cares anymore. that was a long time ago.I know i was offered E/6 to re enlist, but I said hell no. the army was changing. I was used to running in fatigues and combat boots. at that time running shoes weren't for me. 1 rice patty was plenty for me to boot. so I ended training LT's on jungle traing. needless to say it was fun,claymores,map reading, booby traps,yippi skippi! later you all
To all me fellow service members I would like to say thanks for all everyone has done. I was a corporal/specialist in the Army. Reason I say both is I had Corporal stripes before my new commander took them away because we got into a fight in town. The fight was sticking up for three Marines that were getting beat up by more than twelve civillians. We would not let it happen. So,that's a little about me.
