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!

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!!

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.

Navy, enlisted in 1986, went to boot camp in sunny Orlando Fl.
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.
