Reply #60 – January 13, 2008, 08:35:15 PM Quote from: vinnietbird;197547Actually,I'm not retired,just honorably discharged.I signed up for 4 years,and ended up doing 5 because my Uncle Sam put a "Stop Loss" on the military meaning that critical career fields could not get out until released,even if it was time for their discharge.I went to the Persian Gulf for 14 months.I made E-5,Staff Seargent,and I'm proud I did my part for my Country.I was Air Force.When I got back,I was a patrolman here in town (police afficer for those who use that term) for 2 years and now I work at the Veteran's Center here and have been here for 14 years.My military time applies for retirement.I'd be glad to help out if Uncle sam calls me,but,I turned 40 (although,I look MUCH younger),I believe I'm past the call back list.LOL.No regrets about any of it.Some of it sucked,especially in the Gulf,but,as i said,no regrest.I'm 40,Veteran od a Foreign War,able to retire in another year (I'm not going to),and feeling pretty darned good and healthy.There. I watched you guys fly over every half hour through my scope. :) Quote Selected

Throw him in an airplane and he only knows to jump back out. Never seen a Marine land from a sea-born assault without a Coastie driving either. As long as the patch is US I don't care what branch, I have the utmost respect for all of them. Quote Selected
