How many times have you gone in harm's way while defending the United States of America?

Let's see, I was on the first aircraft carrier (USS America) back into the Persian Gulf just after cessation of hostilities with Iraq, churned up the Adriatic Sea during the whole Bosnian conflict and rushed to the Indian Ocean and sat off the coast of Somalia for a spell.

While, I never was "shot at" the possibility for me to have harm come to me was always there seeing as I was serving aboard a combat vessel.

I guess I should say that I worked on the flight deck of said carrier at night.

So yes, I will hate on Juan McLame thank you.

Wow, another “did nothing” squid with a chest full of duty station ribbons. BFD.
