Hey fellas,

I've noticed that alot of us guys on here have served in the military or are currently serving. I was just wondering who all has served in their country's military. Please give some information. My information is as follows:

United States Navy

Interior Communications Electrician
USS Thorn DD988 (Destroyer)
MHC-52 Heron (minesweeper)

Thanks

I voted no, because I haven't yet, hopefully by next year I'll be in.

If some of you want to take the time to post more about their MOS/Rating, experiences, pros/cons, funny sh*t, etc......it would be appreciated!

Thank you for your service, everyone who voted yes here!

U.S. Army (1998- til retirement)

Love my Army, love serving my country, don't know where i;d be without it. It's given my everything and made me who I am today.
 
RADIO ELECTRICIAN 2ND CLASS
HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL NAVY for 6 years
now in civvy street
served in middle east , far east, visited Fort Lauderdale, West Indies, western australia, Sierra leone, Gibraltar, Malta, Marseilles, Civitivecchia for Rome, based at PORTSMOUTH NAVAL DOCKYARD whilest ship was in refit .

Everyone should serve some time , HM Forces. It teaches respect for each other and ones self.
 
For the record, I don't believe everyone should serve in the military, but I do believe that everyone should service their country in one way or another. I believe this would dramatically increase the maturity levels of many adults for the better. I do not believe that this should be forced upon anyone, but it would be nice if Americans actually felt a responsiblity to give back to their country.
 
USMC

2005- current
EA-6B ALQ-99 ECM
Cherry point, Nc
 
US ARMY
Fort Riley KS - Headquarters, 3rd brigade, 1st Armor.
1995-1999

bosnia was all i got. i was a 98C - signals intelligence. fancy words for codebreaking, so not a whole lot to do in bosnia.

props to everyone who serves or has served. i'm a first generation american, so i think it was my responsibility to give something back to this nation, whether i like current policies or not.
 
I tried getting in a few times, different branches. They wondered what the scars were from and why I ran FUNNY :) . I felt like the hunchback dude in 300 that got denied, just kidding, hind site is always 20/20, I wouldn't be where I was now if I got in.

Your service is much appreciated, props to ya all.

When I meet a Vietnam vet I about break down everytime when I think about how they were treated when they got back.
 
US Army
CPT, Ordnance
Active Duty 2002-2006

I don't think everyone should have to serve. I like how it is in Starship Troopers, where you have to serve to vote. Seems like a good idea.

Cool. OSI is a great opportunity if if ever opens up for you. You can basically transfer out of it into a 6 figure government job whenever you want if you get the training.
 
Not wishing to make light of the situation in Afghanistan but CHANNEL 5 on UK tv have been running a fly on the wall documentary series called WAR ZONE , about the UK troops based at Kandahar Must say theyve thought of everything for the guys stationed there, regardless of nationality=3 gyms- massage palour with thai women (all above board of course), ice rink , subway burger king etc . shops, market, 3 canteens and most dont go outside the camp/ So whilest not trying to take away the importance of the role the troops play, it did shed a different light on this particular war.
