You guys have no idea how jelous of you I am. Not for the things you've seen and done, but that you've had the opportunity to rise above the rest and serve your country.

 I've always wanted to serve my country since I was small, like my grandfather, and his grandfather before him. Unfotunatly I've been told I wouldn't make the cut due to poor vision in my right eye (20/200 uncorrectable).

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I'm not spamming but I found a service buddy I haven't seen in almost 35 years on facebook. He sent me some photo's I have never seen of a 18 year old skinny kid in Korea. None of my family had ever seen the photo's either. Great Find!  It was a great reunion! Wonderful to reminisce.  :salute <S> Senior Airman "Skooter" Scott Engler!  :D  :rock Ace, It was OUR privilege.  :D

USN( & R )  85-89

got to work on AE-6's, A-4's, A-7's, F4-G/J/?'s, first 2 designated F-18's going to the Blue Angels and lastly  ended up with VS-24 as well as selected for the nuclear weapons launch/recovery team for my squad......

edit: also worked @ NADEP, NAMTRADEPT, Corrosion Control, while at Cecil before heading to 24......  took training at NAS Memphis and out in Cali......

VS-24 Scouts ( the eagle holding broken sub patch in my avatar was my squadron patch )/ Carrier Airwing 8 ~ was a JetMech ( AD ) & asst flightLine Coordinator for my squadron  while stationed on land at NAS Cecilfield, my auxillary duties was fuels/hydraulics petty officer.....  checked all AC for fuel cell and hydraulic fluids contamination, etc.....  High Power / Low Power Turn qualed and backseat for the S3

everything from Plane Captain to Troubleshooter  while at sea

served on the USS Nimitz and then went to the USS Roosevelt when the Nimitz went into drydock up at WA state

both my last squadron VS-24  and the last Jet type I worked on have since been decommissioned and NAS Cecilfield has been closed down.......  such a shame.......

Myself and a younger brother went Army. Other younger brother (his twin ) went Navy.
He was Medically Discharged in Basic, due to an Achilles.
Point is; Not all of us can serve, due to health. There are however, other ways to serve your Country as I'm sure you know :aok

4-3 ADA, 1st Infantry Division. Iraq (Feb 2004-Feb 2005) FOB Danger, Tikrit. The name of the FOB was a historical name for the Big Red One's Div HQ in every conflict it has been in since WWII...Or Fire Base (not sure). When we got there we changed to the name from FOB Ironhorse and when we left the new guys named it FOB Liberty.
