Let's start a list of FReepers who serve/have served in the military and deserve our respect and appreciation...
Thank you Adam, you will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace.
E-4, 95 Bravo, 103rd Military Police Co., Ft. MacArthur CA
1968-1970
Retired Sergeant Major

17 years Special Forces
Captain
U.S. Army Active Reserve
6th Army District
1958-62
I recently re-joined the reserves after a long absence (at age 41). It's been a great experience for me -- there are wonderful opportunities to pick opportunities that you really want, and the GWOT makes my service feel more "purposeful" than when I was in the first time. (Also, with prior service you can probably do the "choose one" option and just sign up for a year, plus 2 years int he IRR.)
If you're thinking about joining up again, I congratulate you! Send me some freepmail if I can help with any questions.
Start at the begining ping!

I miss you Daddy
12 years Navy here (medically discharged in 2003). My father is a 22 year Army vet. The eldest sibling, the only sister, served in the Army. The oldest brother was Airborne Rangers, until nearly losing an arm during the Gulf War. My younger brother was Navy and NG. The youngest of the clan is currently in the Air Force.
To all my fellow comrades in arms, I will toast you all on Memorial Day with my usual Vodka Martini.
United States Army
SP4 Radio Relay Carrier Attendant
32ND Army Air Defense Command
11th Signal Battalion, Company C
GERMANY 1968 - 1969
The THREE over TWO missle patch became famous later on because of the Patriot Missle Batteries in the first gulf war. In my time we handled communication and telemetry to Pershing and Nike missles, very good duty for this time period. Half of my class went to NAM, the rest to GERMANY.
