How many people serving their country, military

I missed my sisters wedding, as I was 13,000 miles away. In fact I didn't even know about it until a mom letter arrived a week later.

I've had fun with it since 1969 as I now accuse her husband of sneaking around behind my back with my little sister. He was one of my high school friends. He came back to the world from Nam only four months before my ETS. They could have waited four months.

My story is he rushed it because he knew I'd stand up in church to OBJECT.

It all good natured back and forth bantering.

I can only imagine if I had approached my 1st Sergeant and had said “Top, need a couple weeks off to go to my little sis’s wedding”. Yes indeed I’ve, would have been a sight to see 🤯....
