Spent 14 years in the Army Reserve and another 4 in ROTC. A lot of pain in the butt stuff, but good memories, good stories and a sense of pride that I carry with me 10 years after I left.

My sister retired after 24 years as a Navy JAG last fall. I thank you on her behalf.

2 Years in the Navy with 18 more to go!
Proudly stationed aboard the JCS in Bremerton!

What's your rating? And, I'll be 'stationed aboard' the JCS for 6 weeks of swing shift starting at the end of June... I'll be in the hangar deck, forward, in a trailer that's going to serve as the trouble desk for the nuclear control engineers (code 2330)... Meanwhile, my son-in-law just got transferred off the same ship. He was the XO's yeoman.

I'm a CTT3. Next month when the maintenance starts, I'll be helping out with the lagging team

I played in an Army/Navy rugby match at Ft Lewis. Army won 24-29. A general stopped by and said a few words. I won man of the match for the navy forwards. Its been a good day.

I have a lot of respect for anybody that goes the military route. And often times wish that I had chosen that route as a younger man. Thanks to all of you.

I'm a 5 year ex Army Cavalry scout stationed at Ft. Carson, CO (great area, btw). One thing I've learned in my time serving is to appreciate those who have served regardless of job or branch, so thanks to all you vets out there and those still serving!!

Probably the craziest military career path I've seen lol.

What caused the changes of branches if you don't mind me asking? Did you do the same jobs for each?

Thanks for what? They get paid by the citizens of this country to go fight meaningless wars for the rich a-holes who run this country.

Wake the hell up!

God bless America where you have the freedom to bitch about the people that fight for your right to do so. :roll:
