Montana National Guard (Help!)

I joined the MT National Guard last month.

I was supposed to drill tomorrow, but they changed it for me to tonight.

I just got my uniforms 10 minutes ago.

The patches were rubber-banded together. I'm not sure which patch goes where.

I have two for my last name and 1 that says "US Army"

I also have a circular, which looks something like a sunburst over a mountain top. I'm not sure though and as far as I can tell it could be up-side down.

I don't want to look like a dork!

Can anyone help me?

I will be sure to brag on you to my retired Master Chief Corpsman coworker

If I had stayed in I probably would be a Master Chief about now, at the least I would have been retired as one. I might have worked with your friend.

Ask if he ever spent time at:

Navy Hospital Camp Pendleton

or

KMCAS

I’ll show him your post. This summer I passed the 35 year mark since I left for basic training. Where did the years go?

I originally joined the US Navy in 1983. I joined for a number of reasons, but one of which was to experience war.

It is unexplainable and yet those that share the same feeling understand it.

Roger that. I have friends who don't understand it at all. People who cannot comprehend why someone would stay in the Army when they could be making literally four times as much in the civilian world. Well, as they say, people join the military for a whole variety of reasons.

I want to say more, but I don't know if it will make much sense.
