which Branch of the service did you serve?

US Army Airborne Infantry 1990-1994

Army 1991-2000
Army National Guard 2000 to present.

I put Air force because I just joined the Vermont Air National Guard, will be leaving for basic in January but until then I do go to drills as future flight.

Was in the process of talkin with recruiters for the Army when i was seriously injured and the military wont accept me anymore. They have no need for a young man that cant lift more then 50 lbs the rest of is life. Gotta hate back injuries.

I have so much respect for all that serve. So thank you for all you have done to protect my freedoms. Wish i couldve served as well.

Civilian now. Bout 20 pounds heavier too - working on that!

US Army, 20 1/2 years, 19 as a CID Special Agent.

Would have been 20 years and 4 days, but we were having that little disagreement with the gentleman in Iraq at the time, so I had to stay in and guard Atlanta with my .38 and 12 rounds.

Did a heckuva job -- not a single Iraqi got through!

I became one of Uncle Sams Misguided Children in 1974, got out in 81.
