Thread: Military and Veterans - Where were you? What were you?

    Default Military and Veterans - Where were you? What were you?

    I'm always mystified where we find one another. Aren't you all supposed to be playing Call of Duty?

    1/506 and 3/327 Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, US Army 2003-2008
    C Troop 1/18 CAV, California Army National Guard 2008-2012

    Surprised you didn't do the full 20-25 with guard after putting that much time in.

    Can't remember the unit (Think it was the 204th) Fort Polk, Louisiana 97-99.
    560th MP company, spread all over Germany. I was stationed in Weisbaden and did TDY missions to Bosnia, Kosovo, Croatia, Macedonia, Hungary, the first UN Joint base mission in Romania, and Theslaniki (Probably not spelled right) Greece, 99-02
    5th MP detachment Fort Rucker, Alabaman 02-03.

    I got tired of it. The Guard pay really screws up a person's taxes for one, and we weren't ever going to deploy, so I got out. I don't even miss it.

    Enlisted in the Corps back in '89; 24 years later, they have sent me to college to get my BS, commissioned me, sent me back to college to get two masters degrees and I will be pining on Major in a month. Not too shabby for someone who almost dropped out of high school due to boredom.
