Default Military?

How many veteran or current military do we have here?

I'll go first. Air Force. Did my time and got out. I'd go back but Air Force has a prior freeze. Unless you had a much needed job.

Army four years six months. Cellular communications and jumping out of planes. It was fun I just don't like my life being controlled that much. Oh yeah and it's where I got the nickname Gonzo.

Army, one month short of 11 years. I kept people alive but transitioned to something else after that. Won't go into it because it's too personal of information.

Royal Air Force,
21 years served all over the world, loved every minute but being away from home and family was taking it's toll. Been out for just over 12 years now and don't really miss the job just the people. Still think of the folks around here as civilians!! funny eh....
Proud to be a veteran.
