Active Duty/Veterans/Civil Servants 3 Years, 4 Months ago  
I looked and couldn't find any post on this, but I think that there is a good portion of us that either have been or are currently in of the afformentioned "proffession".
  • I will start this out: I am an active duty Sailor joined in Jan 2001, still in training when Sept 11 happened. Been on submarines since 2003...
  • We don't do it because it's fun, We do it because it is right...

    It was a noble profession just like police and fireman. I would have retired at age 36 but got my back injured and had my spine fused. Couldn't lift my 75 lb tool box so they put me out. I loved my job (jet engine mechanic) and had great pride in what I was doing and why. Thanks to ALL that served and those who are serving God bless and protect them.

    I for one would like to thank all of you who have served, and protected the rights of the rest of us. My son got out last year, and his wife is over there now(IRAQ). For her second time. BLESS YOU ALL.

    United States Marine Corps
    Jan. 1979-March 1983
    Field Artillery Surveyor
    Stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC and Kanehoe Bay, MCAS in Hawaii.

    We surveyed firing positions for the howitzers; everything from towed 105mm to the 8 inch self-propelled guns. Ya want to feel the ground shake? Be in the middle of a battery (6 guns) of 8 inch howitzers when they do a "fire for effect". It's awesome!!!

    Semper Fi!

    Retired in November 1996 after serving 24 years, 6 months and 17 days in the US Army.....and never regreted a day of it! Now I have the pleasure of working with the outstanding young men and women who are joining the armed forces today. It was easy for me, there was a draft and you didn't have a choice. These outstanding young men and women today don't have to go into the military, they are volunteering....and volunteering in a time of war. If you are one of them....or a parent of one of them....you have my deepest respect!
