Maine Air National Guard / USAF 1987-1994

Didn't realize I was oficially a vet til a few years ago...apparently because my unit was activiated/mobilized for 4 months for the Gulf War, on paper, Im a vet. Was supposed to go to Saudi in support of our KC-135s, wound up full time active duty on base as an alternate instead. Was a very busy time for us refueling everything heading over the Atlantic.

Are reservists not considered to be veterans?

missed it by >< that much when I was 17. I signed on the dotted line, both mom and dad signed me in. Then 2 months later, on the morning I was supposed to go in, my recruiter called and said "no more non-grads" this month. I say "is it too late for me to change my mind?" he say "no" I said "GREAT" " I don't want to go into the army now!!!!"

Wish I had served though....

~~and Thanks to those that did in my place....~~
