I joined in March 1975, US Army Infantry! Ft. Jackson at the base of Tank Hill is where I took Basic Training. Then it was onto Ft. Polk LA, were the mosquitoes were as big as Huey's!
1st duty station was Ft Ord CA. I joined the Green Berets in 1985 at Ft. Bragg and the 5th SFGA. I retired from 5th group as a Sergeant Major in Jan of 1999.
God Bless the Troops! We fight to free the Oppressed.

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.
