Thread: Military Service

U.S.M.C. 1990-1994 FIRE DIRECTION/ARTILLERY, MARINE CORPS COMPANY AIDMAN ( CORPSMAN ) T.R.A.P. TEAM E4

Gentlemen, here is my humble Armed Forces service:

Combat correspondent, U.S. Army 4th Infantry Division, Vietnam, 1967-1968.

Sept 70-June 73. Army Field Medic. 41st Surgical MUST unit. E-4 twice.

I never served but both my father and two older brothers served. All in the Army.

Father in the early 80's stationed in Germany 101st infantry
Eldest brother 2007-2012 E-4 82nd airborne infantry, two tours in Iraq
Middle brother 2005-2013 E-6 101st infantry 1 tour in Iraq and a tour in Afghanistan. Purple heart.

I have respect for the military and those who have served and who still do.

Thank you to all. Seriously

Sniper-USMC 3rd and 2nd Force Recon 1994-1998.

Cadet and SGT 49th Infantry Brigade while attending college 1998-2000.

Infantry Officer, 3rd Infantry Division, 2000-2004.

US Army Counter Intelligence-Defence Intelligence Agency 2004-present.

Have been involved in pretty much everything since I came in. Panama, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Somalia, gas attack in Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, Egypt and a few other places. Hit my 20 year mark in 5 months. I know I'll be staying at least 2 more years and hit Lieutenant Colonel. Retired at 43 won't be too bad since everything I have including my house is paid for. I figure I can live off $4500 a month retirement plus my savings and just get a job doin something fun, like selling classic cars or security guard at the Playboy Mansion.

You really feel old when you see your father Piloting an LCVP in 1944 while watching Victory at sea
