Thank YOU for your service! :)
It was my pleasure and I would do it again in a heartbeat. As I grew up as an Army Brat, I only had two years as an actual civilian and it was like I was back home again. My Drill Sergent actually had my dad as his Drill Sergent. The guys in my platoon never figured out why I was having so much fun!
The one thing it did was to prepare me for my career as a Design Engineer in addition to laying the groundwork in electronics to my “fun job” as a racing car data acquisition specialist. Most people today don’t understand when I say I am retired.
