i was active duty army for a couple years now im army reserve, my best friend spent a year and half in iraq along with a couple other friends, i've been stateside the whole time, stationed in san antonio tx for a while. i know a lot of you love the military but it's not for me. i wish i hadnt joined up. i make a lot more money and travel a hell of a lot more as a civillian. not to mention the freedom i have as a civillian. but i am grateful for the ones that love that life and do it everyday.

My teacher who was former 82nd (he made it clear one day in class that he never goes by ex-army, its former for some reason or another) he's got some decorations for some things or another, served in Grenada but never talked about it... but he did have some inspirational/meaningful stories about his service. It brings some diversity into the classroom you know?

I've had that happen with a power unit when I crewed B-52's at Castle. NOT a good day for the AGE section...

Default Jason24, Take your medicine daily, not monthly!!

You are already eligible for the "mental ward" without ever having to fire a round. Good luck with your section 8 discharge.
