I'm with you -- I have never served. My bro is a CPT in the Army Reserves, I have a cousin who served in the Army in Panama during the Noreiga years and was also stationed in Korea for a while, and another cousin who was in the Marines -- he went in to liberate Kuwait City during GW1. I have 2 uncles who served in Vietnam and my FIL was a Merchant Marine in WW2 -- he was in the advertising office!!
USN 1976 - 1997
Not kidding - got dead trees to prove it all!
Great pics LM!! *HUGS!*
It was my pleasure. And it was a good time to serve.
I think I have said this before, but you are my hero, Sarge! ((((hugs)))
Ditto that Ms.B -- thank you for being a great military mom and wife!! You also served!! *HUGS!*
As one of the ones who did all that...we love YOU, trooper! (((hugs))) Thank you for being there for all of us. *salute*
Mid-90's if memory serves.
There was one supply guy in the Guard who also had a 194th plaque on the wall; we got to talking. They didn't even transfer units to other bases, just turned out the lights, from what he told me.
Breaks mine to hear it now.
For us civilain types..
What the heck does that mean?
LOL

Things That Make You Go "Booooom!"
I am a Submariner, so the biggest vehicle I "drove" is a 365' 688 Class Attack Sub. I remember the days of 40-word "family grams". You got 4 chits to give to your wife/family. These would last you 6 months. They could fill out 40 words and deliver it to squadron. Some Radioman would transcribe these into a message that you would get from a week to a month later.
Oh, and they were only one way, you waited until you were in port to call, long distance, international, no calling cards, $$$.
Currently on shore duty (slacking off), but I have done everything from tracking Soviet Subs in the Med (and other places) to firing some of the missiles that took out Saddam's palace in March '03.
LIL DEVIL HUG!
*HUG*
Ms.B
An adventure for sure!!
