Only if it's for at least 20 years and/or combat duty is on it.

I know plenty of guys that have a DD214 with 4 years of peace time service and I don't consider those guys Vets. They're just ex servicemen.

Actually, often as not, I would find him in an F6 circling above his squad looking for cherries to pick. There was great joy in popping him like the cherry he was. :D

Guess I qualify, I have 24yrs and combat duty....Even if a guy didn't make it 20 yrs or see combat is no fault of that individual. Not like he could go start a war so he could get his combat time...LOL. Plus whats doing 20yrs and no combat time any different than doing 4 yrs and no combat time? (besides the obvious 16yrs)

I remember when the FDB's were challenged to a duel by another squad. The FDB's showed up in C-47's! :rofl  

Also remember fighting them for the field near the beer. Almost every night! They loved that field for some reason. :D

Commitment is the differance. Most of the people I know that did the 4 years in and out were the problem kids. They didn't want anyone telling them what to do, half assed their jobs, yadda yadda yadda. They just couldn't hack it.

Now I also know a few people that got out after their first enlistment after having served in combat. The reasons vary but most of it comes down to the fact that getting shot at sucks. They took their chances and came out of it on the other side alive and wanted to keep it that way. OK fine. I have no problem with that. They're combat vets and have my respect.

20 years of peace time service. That's a career. That's commitment. That has my respect.

4 year peace time in and outers who's last words are, "My recruiter lied to me and this stuff sucks. I'm tired of dealing with all the bull****, so I'm outa here."  Well see ya, and don't let the door hit you in the bellybutton on the way out. In my opinion they aren't vets. Just ex service members.

Again this is my opinion as a combat vet that was medically retired at 18 years of service. I would have done 30 if I could have but it wasn't my decision to leave. The medical board over ruled my appeal to stay on active duty. Such is life. All I can say is the civilian world sucks and I wish I could quit and go back home to the military. At least there I knew where I stood.

No. Robert "Airwolf" Wolf. I believe that DoK as the one that started the craze with the phrase. :)

The Doom that was here was not the Doom from AW. I believe that AH's Doom was Vowel of Doom in AW.

A military career is a personal choice.  I saw plenty of "career" soldiers that stayed in because they couldn't "hack it' on the outside.  I did 18 months active Air National Guard prior to four years Regular Army.  My recruiter DID lie to me and I hated the Army.  Happiest day of my life was when I got out.  

BTW, I think I qualify as a vet since I spent a year in Viet Nam hanging onto an M60 in the door of a helicopter. And yes, "getting shot at sucks."

I was young and dumb back in the day of MetaTron. I was in the same squad as him before his "final" departure.

I remember him most over the squad channel telling me that he lived in a mansion. And he was building a small airfield in the back of his house. His idea was to allow people come to his house and fly P-51s with paintball guns instead of the real thing aganst eachother. I think he tried convincing ghi to. But ghi was giving him the cold shoulder.

Wasn't it a Kesmai support chap? Robert maybe? Not very popular. I think Moggy took over from him.

Moggy was a dweeb, of course. I still dine out on my story (http://groups.google.com/group/alt.games.air-warrior/browse_thread/thread/e10a785645b2e12c) of dragging him into ack during a BoB scenario.

Lol Ack-Ack, do you remember way back when their was a pic of Doom circulating with his audio  explaining how great  and deadly he was?  It was frigging hilarious and was circulating around for quite a while.
