Air Force, '87 - 91. Aircraft weapons specialist "BB Stacker" during Gulf War, but didn't go there.
I wanted to go in and learn a trade I could use in the real world...but not too many jets to load weapons on in the civilian life! lol.

You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

I, too, am a vet, 79-86 USN Corpsman, field trained with the Grunts, but was an Ophthalmology Tech/Surg. Asst, 2 years in Japan, final 2 years in Naval Hospital Portsmouth, Va.. Fortunately it was during a rather peaceful time, but I think we(USA) invaded GRANADA sometime in there?!
I also know that we have a member on this forum who lost a son to this WAR , so it hits everyone somehow!
Here's to hoping we can end it soon!

81SH "Godzilla" . . .1179cc super-rat.
79SF "The Teacher" . . .basket case! History shows again and again,
How nature points out the folly of men!
1958 - 1961 Army active duty, Trained at Ft. Dix, then stationed in Boblingon, Heilbronn, Mannheim, and Worms, Germany, hauling tanks around Europe. 128,000 accident free miles in Europe. I feel lucky I was in during peacetime, but the reminders were still there in Europe. Lots of bombed out holes in the cities yet and no men over 15 yrs, but lots of women. A big plus for us "soldiers".
