POLL: Military Service

[Devil Doc]

As far as I know you just took over the senior "O" spot on the board but I spent 14 years on the enlisted side of the house too.

Service: United States Army - 3 years Active, 20 years Reserve
Branch: Medical Service Corps, transferred to retired status in '95 with rank of LTC
Most Memorable Moment: Earning EFMB alongside soldiers half my age
Most Looking Forward to: July '09 when I start drawing retired pay!

Senior "O" and a buck and a half will get you a cup of coffee in the 1st. Civ. Div. :sign:

Doc.

[LarianLeQuella]

USAF Active Duty (for now), 1989 to Present. I'm one of those "Zero" types.

 

[Sunshine86]

US Navy from 2001 until now. I've been on the USS Chung-Hoon for the last 4 years and some change. Getting ready to rotate out and roll up to Great Lakes, IL. Shore duty.

A friend of mine was a CS on the Chung-Hoon.

For the time being, I'm a civilian. I have a little over two years of school left and, after graduation, I'm planning on enlisting in the Army. I haven't quite settled on an MOS yet but I'm really leaning towards 13F (Fire Support Specialist). I'd also like to go to Airborne school.

Tons of appreciation to you guys who have served. I have had several cases of fainting in the mornings, and as soon as I can get that figured out, hopefully I can join the Air force. My father is retired e-7 and my brother is soon to be chaplain.
