Jan 1980 - Jun 1993 then blew out a knee and career was :toast:
all without disability pay of course. If I had still been In Special Forces when the cut-backs came along I wouldn't have been put out (I think?)
Enjoyed my service greatly and would do it again if need be but don't think they are looking for many 52 year olds right now.

Nah. Unabashed lifelong civilian, me. Though I do regularly campaign along with my Dad to support UK soldiers in their fight to retain disability benefits, along with recognition for war widows and other political issues.
Guys who put on the uniform and accept the Queen's Shilling do so for a damned good reason, and in gratitude for their having given over their lives to ensure that I can enjoy mine, I do all that I can to make sure that their voices are heard where it counts.
I know with certainty that a lot of Usarians feel the same about their boys in uniform too.

Started off on the USS Enterprise
DS 1: Shop 10A ship superintendnet's office SIMA San Diego. Got the 'privilage' of getting the 5 biggest POS amphibs in the Pacific ready to go with a MAB aboard for that one.
Wrong coast for Grenada and Panama.
9/11 USS George Philip for electrical work to get her moved. What a zoo that was. She was in the Continential Marine yard under the Coronado Bridge and they wanted her moved like yesterday.
5 times to the ME Bahrain etc., for our latest fun and games.
And, a bunch of places in between.
But, all that fun is behind me now.

US Army MP active '92 to '97. Eqypt-Israel, Hawaii, Thailand, States. Reserves afterwards for a short while
No maroon beret, but did complete Air Assault School and wore an orange beret for a bit.
Played some Traveller and 2300 AD while in with fellow soldiers. Even stuffed some RPG books in a platoon footlocker for a brief campaign when I was stuck in a desert for 6 months.

1. free advice: learn proper sentence structure, and learn how to properly capitalize words.
2. have this on me:
Madarin Dude
SOC-13
Well Air Force here. I was in avionics from 82-91. I did two tours in Iceland and flew during the invasion of Panama in 89. (stationed in Oklahoma at that time)
1. Free advice: Learn not to bash someone for something trivial when they were showing respect to others.
2. Don't correct someone on capitalization while leaving words uncapitalized yourself.
