Had a good time in the NG, was OPFOR at NTC summer of '93, and trained with the Dutch Marines in Aruba. Good times.

Thanks to all those who have served and are currently serving.
 

Can't say that i did. My last activation was during D.S. and my status was changed and never got deployed. I think i'm too old now,lol.
 
I take my hat off to those who have or still are serving. Having sent 10 years in the technical side of my country's Airforce. I now find thru 4x4 here in the Gulf to have made friends with some with some great guys and girls that have served America proud.

I can count myself lucky to have met and had a beer with "Iron Mike" Whose pic is below. Keep it up Guys, lets make this world a safer place for our kids.

Joined '94 as 73C (Finance Clerk), almost 7 years active duty. 3 at Bragg doin the Airborne thing and 3 out in Monterey, Ca at DLI.

Joined NG in Feb. '01....pretty much guess how that turned out~!

I'm a 25B (Network Admin) now, doin my second deployment. :shades:
 
This will expose how "ancient" I am. In the early 70's, I served on the USS Truxtun, DLGN 35 one of only three surface nuclear powered ships at the time. Spent 7 months in the eastern Pacific, much of it stationed off the coast of North Vietnam.

NIOBC, Dam Neck, VA 1989
HSL-30, NAS Norfolk 1989-1991 (active duty)

Various reserve assignments from 1991-1999, including: CINCUSNAVEUR; JAC RAF Molesworth; COMPHIBGRU TWO, Norfolk, VA; JTF-4 Key West, FL and Bridgetown, Barbados; and US CENTCOM, Tampa, FL.

Resigned commission as Lieutenant Commander in 1999 after getting married. Left the best job I ever had, but couldn't justify using all my vacation time from my "real" job to go play Navy, and never have time off with my family.
