988th MP Co.
Ft Benning, Ga. (81-82)

3 months during that period was spent at Ft Chaffee guarding the dregs of Cuban society Castro saddled us with during the Mariel flotilla.

59th MP Co.
Pirmasens, Germany. (82-84)

A story of life in the Army.  ;)

When I left Ft Benning it was with hopes of a *less* demanding duty station, 988th MP Co was a STRAF unit attached to the 18th Airborne Corps and wasn't real pleasant duty. (grunts with brassards)

The post CG ordered all Benning troops to perform a 12 mile road march monthly and the 988th C.O. usually made us do 15.

Shortly after arriving in Germany I was in orientation and saw a platoon road marching in full MOPP 4 gear, (except for the booties) I chuckled and thought to myself "poor bastards" I'm glad my road march days are finished.

I found out after class that it was MY platoon.  :rolleyes:

 The 95th MP battalion commander had ordered that all MPs were required to perform a 10 mile MOPP march and qualify with our weapons to "familiarize" ourselves with operating in a NBC environment.  

Benning was a picnic compared to Pirmasens.

Salute to all.

I'm a young guy who wanted so bad to fly in the Air Force, but sadly my vision is slowing failing me, rendering a chance in the Armed Forces down to nothing.   But none the less, I gladly support our Armed Forces for the blood, sweat, and tears they have laid before us.  

Not to often I say this, but I hold our Freedom dear in my heart.  Those who died before us have paid the highest price for our Freedom, and for that I pay the highest respect to them.  It is important that Americans, and any member of a free country, respect and pay tribute to those who have fallen, for they have paid the highest price.

So to those who have served in the Armed Forces, I salute you and thank you for my freedom, the soil you defended, and the place I call home, our land of the Brave, the Free, the Fallen, and the Respected, our land of America


For those who have served, Thank you for my Freedom.

For those who have fallen, You are not Forgotten.

Thank You.

Mike/wulfie

p.s. TheFatz if you can't fly (as in Aviator) I bet you could still go as a NFO (Naval Flight Officer - navigator, WSO, etc.) without having super vision. Trust me even guys who don't slam the stick around have fun and have important jobs. I know 50 or more awesome guys who were NFOs instead of getting a crack at being an Aviator because of some small thing that held them up.

You're going to need a bachelor's degree wulfie.  And there really aren't any guarantees when it comes to the military.  That's why I threw "a little luck" in there.

Spent the first 15 years of life as a dependant of flight crew USAF.

Dad (Charles F. Hall, Smsgt 1930-present) retired as a flight engineer C-141s with 62nd MAW, 8th Squadron out of McChord AFB, Wash.  He participated as a crewman in the POW Airlift out of Hanoi.

He was absent most of my youth so I payed some dues I guess.

So to those who have served in the Armed Forces, I salute you and thank you for my freedom, the soil you defended, and the place I call home, our land of the Brave, the Free, the Fallen, and the Respected, our land of America


For those who have served, Thank you for my Freedom.

For those who have fallen, You are not Forgotten.

Thank You.

DJ, Sikboy, come on guys......the U.S. military service is all on the same side, regardless of which branch you choose/chose to serve in.

The world is a changing place and as such, today's military is different than it was 5 or 10 years ago...that's not our fault.  We do our best at our own level of responsibility to keep things as we see fit, but we do have rules and orders to follow.  What counts is accomplishment of the mission.

Everyone has reasons for being in the service they are in.  I spent 4 years in the Army, but left for the Air Force...not because I was a wuss and couldn't handle the Army, I actually liked it, but I was young and had no real direction in my life.  I wish today I had stayed Army.

I am also man enough to freely admit that I would never sign up for the Marines because I don't think I have the level of physical fitness to hang with what they go through.  I believe I could probably make it through, but not sure I would be ready for 20 years of it.  Some folks are just cut out for that service.  Does that mean the Air Force is a bunch of wimps?  No, not at all.  We all have a job to do and when we all do it, life is much the better for all.  Being the biggest, toughest macho guy on the block doesn't mean sh*t because I have yet to find a person anywhere, regardless of size, that can take a round in the head and walk away..............

Bah, it was all in good fun Warp. Ever since the days of Billy Mitchell the Air services and the Navy have had it in for each other. So it's not surprising that Squids and Zoomies like to take shots at each other. It's componded for anyone who ever worked in a Joint Service environment I believe. You should have some familiarity with that ;).

But you're absolutly right. We are all on the same side, and when presented with a common foe, I've never seen a Sailor or Airman let the service rivaly effect their performance. When I met my wife she was in the Airforce (polishing medals or fluffing pillows or something) so I certainly don't think too lowely of the lesser service :)

All,

It's freaking amazing to see all that have served and those that still are currently serving .

Myself...was in the Marines :D ...might even still be...don't know cause I drink alot....j/k

Joined in '92 at the old age of 23 (all the other recruits were 18) and unfortunately left after 2 years...my feet began to go flat...two stress fractures in two years is not an ideal life.  Miss the life though.

In two years I spent time in California, North Carolina, Okinawa and South Korea.  Had a blast...drank lots of beer (I'm not known as Drunky cause I fly goons the most), did some crazy sh*t and have seen/done some amazing things.

Fast rope ain't sh*t...going down a rope in the "gorilla" from 60 feet is a freaking rush...

Anyway... again all

 He was a great skipper and was always going out of his way
 to keep the crew happy. When we were down in the Caribbean
 doing test & evaluation of the Terrier system, we were scheduled
 to put to sea on Monday morning, fire one or two birds a day
 and return to port on Friday afternoon but Cmdr. Zumwalt
 would have us back in San Juan EVERY evening after our
 shot for the day and on the weekends we'd anchor out in  
 St. Thomas. We rarely steamed overnight during those test ops :)

US Army, 1985 to present.

Started out as an E-1, spent 11 years enlisted, made it to the lofty rank of E-6 as a 91B Combat Medical Specialist (ie combat medic).  Spent time with and infantry division, armored division and then some Illinios National Guard time after I got tired of following tanks around.  (trust me, breaking track at 2am gets very old)

Commisioned in 1997 and currently work as an ICU Nurse at Madigan Army Medical Center at Ft. Lewis Washington.  Have been to such lovely places as Korea, Ft. Hood, Ft. Sam Houston TX, Ft. Carson Colorado, Ft. Belvoir Va, and Ft. Erwin CA.  Will be 17 years this month.  Hard to believe that I have been doing this that long, although not all of it is full time duty.  Still have 9 years until I can claim a pension.

Sorry to say I am not a Vet but from a family of many.  

Grandfather WWII  USMC - 43-46 (guam to Oki to Occupation of China). Passed in 1998.  Turned down Purple Heart carrying his dead buddy ashore at Oki.  

Old man - Army - dropped out of HS before second semester of Sophomore year and joined the Army 60-63.  "And almost volunteered to save a "smart kid" from dying, but didn't at the last minute.

I had all of my papers signed to go to Knox, and join Armored Cav.  But opted to go to college and had a recruiter that turned into a friend.

I play paintball with alot of vets.  Military jargon and it's lifestyle is second nature to me, I regret not joining.  

I know you guys are probably wondering why in the hell I'm writing this! But, Here goes....six words.

Thank you for serving, thank you.

That explains it...I tried to use the Ammo callsign when I joined up with AH. I used "AMMO" when I was with AWIII and AWIV. No luck, you had it already, LOL. Maybe I should have used IYAAYAS...

IYAAYAS is a term to express the fact that "If You Ain't Ammo, You Ain't S*%$" Insert a slang term for fecal matter here... This is to the benefit for all you clerks and cooks.
