6 Years, 80 - 86. 1st Inf. Div then the 101st. Enlisted two months after arriving from the U.K. Felt if I was going to live here I owed something. Never regretted it either.

 

[igor]

Finnish Army 1989-1990, in reserve until I'm 60. TOW specialist, 2nd platoon leader, some kind of a sergeant (about 1.class in comparison I think).

Not that I had much say in the matter. Finland is strictly conscription zone. I recommend that heartily... the implications are numerous and all for the common good.

Sometimes, I do miss the comradery. I don't think you can ever find that sort of brotherhood on the outside.

 

[SSGMike]

11B all the way!

I don't post here often, but for this one:

Former 11H (TOW missiles, hey igor!) until the Army deleted my MOS and blessed me as 11B. 16 years so far, all in the VAARNG. No deployments yet, but I still have 4 years to go! Air Assault school Nov '04 at the ripe old age of 39 was a blast! I was in the top 10 age-wise out of 141 grads. HOOAH!

Congrats, everyone here, and thank you for your service to your country (wherever it may be).
