Do we reservists count? 1982-1992.

Plus I was in Cambodia on Christmas 1968. Or 1978. I think it was Cambodia, anyway. Maybe it was Easter. Reagan was President.

Hey! I say that your service counted!
I was a NG cbt. engr. (cbt.--not constr.) for seven years and gave up the vanity stuff (awards, politics for rank, etc.). The last unit (one year there after a transfer) erased two of my ribbons (one a superior unit award that our commander told us no subsequent unit could take away), but I let that go, too, along with the lost LODs for the knees (waived surgeries, continued training).
...went through the divorce (affair by the ex that started while I was in the field), was pushed out of the university English Program by feminazis (who didn't like my new haircut after three months at Ft. Leonard Wood), was refused a number of jobs explicity because I was in the Guard, put up with a platoon sargeant who was an effeminate, vindictive social worker and had no experience in my MOS,...
...did my part, worked hard, stayed out of trouble, and that's all that counts.
