    Former or active Military members

    It seems to me that may be a lot of us who are former or active duty Military. I myself was in the Navy from 77-81, on the carrier Kitty Hawk. and NAS Bruswick Me. Which branch were you in, when, and where were you stationed?

          Portsmouth Naval Hosp, Va. 84-86, OUT! Still here!
          Just ran into a fellow Corpsman I worked with in Va., he's retired now, finished his 20, I could have stayed in, but didn't fit on the ships too well at 6'6" tall! I was fortunate to have missed all of the conflicts as well.

              ½ overseas, ½ stateside

              besides serving my country and learning a vocation I owe something else I learned in the military - honor, character, integrity, responsibility, respect, comradity and love of God and Country. Without these qualities I hold dear my life wouldn't be as 'full' as it has been.
