Gawd I Love This!!!!
« on: August 14, 2004, 05:03:13 PM »
Did my 20 in the Army...ABN RCN, Tunnel chit, Intel/Security, MI... I get a letter today from the Department of the Army.

*Fading back to Sept 11...on Sept 12 I requested reinstatement to Active Duty US Army....later I rcv a nice letter stating how great an American I am to want to give up Retirement to return*

This Letter reads as follows:  

  Our records at this command indicate you previously volunteered for recall to active duty in support of the Global War on Terrorism. The Secretary of the Army now requires a formal application for all retiree volunteers. This letter is to invite you to formally apply and confirm your status as a volunteer.  

Then yada, yada, yada... retaining my retired rank or above. yada, yada, yada....

Signed by the same person I trained as an NCO back in '83 before she went to OCS, she's now a Full Bird.

Back in the Fire Again!!!

Civilian life sux... it's the Camels I want!!!

No but seriously, my Daughters fiance was in Afganland and Iraq as a sniper, no he's not Voss or Mr. Black.   He did well 34 confirms..bad day his way back to the rear Hummer got it with an IDE... shrapnel put him out of service...he's been trying to get back in too.

I told DA back on Sept 12th, the day after ... why send 18-19 year olds into something they don't know what to expect.. send me and a few other Retirees that know the ropes, saves lives.


3 years later they are now realizing that.
