Your Military Service

**Sealy** · 07-25-2005, 08:57 PM

I'm curious, how many members do we have here that are currently serving or have served their Country ? All Countries included.

**ReeKorl** · 07-26-2005, 07:30 AM

Used to be in the Royal Air Force, England.

I served in the Peace Corps - not military service but service nonetheless...

I've also spent some of my professional career as a civilian employee of the Navy and Army.

They wouldn't let me in the army :(

**Terrister** · 07-26-2005, 09:03 AM

I was a ground radar tech in the US Air Force from 81-85.

God Bless you all for serving.

I did 6 years in the Navy. Finished my tour just before Desert Storm started.

Was headed into ROTC for DNDCA, but they closed down the local academy...budget cuts LOL...If I had gone I probably would have ended up in Kosovo...

I am currently serving in the USAF. It has been very good to me. I really enjoy it. I work with some really great people who have great minds. My current job is to keep F-16s and A-10s from getting shot out of the sky by developing and programming radar jamming techniques. I can absolutely say I am learning a TON! Yeah.........good stuff.

There's gotta be more than this?

Anyways, Thank you so much for your service , previous and current. Your sacrifices are so appreciated. :)
