Army?
|
Navy?
|
Why did you choose that particular branch?
|
|
Where did you go to Basic Training or Boot Camp?
What is the name of your unit? (Division?)
What is their (your) mascot?
Tell us how much you loved your DI!
How long were you at Boot Camp/Basic Training, before you questioned the parentage of the senior Drill Sergeant?How long were you in service before you realized that the instructors were right in all that they taught you? |
 Your first landing on an aircraft carrier Your first parachute jump The heaviest vehicle you got to drive The largest weapon you got to use Did you serve before email? Did you have a personal nickname? |
|
It is our pleasure and honor to be here for our Troops, past, present and future...
and especially during this Week, the 4th of July we remember that we owe our freedom to you.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice, and God bless you. 
A gentle reminder from Ms.B:
Please, no politics in The Canteen.
The Troops need a place to rest, relax and relate, and that place is The Canteen.
Have fun and play nice!

1985/89 - Ft. Knox, KY - The old M60A3, the M577 Armored Command Post, and the old Four-Deuce Mortar, M151 Jeeps, and got my first email in 1987
1989 - back to Huachuca for MI OAC
1990 - Ft. Bliss, 1/3 ACR and the first Gulf War
1990/97 - IRR
XMAS 97 - into the Nat'l Guard as an E-5, 96R20
1999 - moved to KY, learned 13F and told the REAL BIG GUNS where to shoot

You're kidding....
That's a lot of skinny to make public. Except for the biggest weapon fired. During Weapons Training at Pendleton, got to shoot a .50 cal Ma Deuce. It was love, I tell ya!

Wow! I bet you had some good assignments mixed-in with the few you listed.
I joined in '79. Went down to the AFEES to go 11B for two years and came back home doing MI for four years. As my mom had to sign (I was only 17) she was mighty pissed I went for four instead of two. Not that it mattered as I stayed in for 13.
I had some good strategic and tactical assignements but two of my favorite were running jammers for 311th MI at Ft Campbell and 105th MI at Ft Polk.
Got to go where I wanted in my jam jeep and pissed people of all ranks off. Ahhh. The life of a jammer. :-)
Now my oldest in getting out of the AF this Oct and my youngest just joined the AF.
