Let's see who is who.
US Navy 1985-1992...I would have retired Navy, but got custody of my then 2 yr. old son, who is now almost 24. (Long story)
Pascagoula, MS, Charleston, SC, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Holy Loch, Scotland-- (U.S.S.Simon Lake AS-33), Pensacola, Fla. (shore duty)
I loved the Navy and wish I could have finished my career, but I had to make a choice. My son or the Navy.
I found some former shipmates of mine in Facebook...a Chief I worked for, and a long lost buddy of mine back in the day. I'd been looking for this buddy for several years.

I'm Air Force '76-'80... I've hooked up with a number of my pals via Facebook. Lost my closest compadre to a heart attack in 2010.
Air Force changed my life in ways I can't begin to count... I would not be where I am or who I am had it not been for those 4 years and those bonds that still remain - and that doesn't even speak to the training I received.
It was my college.

Mick,
Thank You and yer Dad for serving this Great Nation!
My grand father served in an artillery battery in WW1 [Germany]
My Dad [Infantry] served in the Pacific War ,[WW2] in New Guinea. [Army]
One of my major reasons other than being 'Patriotic' ,Was too make my Grand Father and Dad proud of me.

Basic Training - rainbows... because of the colors shining off of our freshly-shorn heads...
Technical Training newbies - Pingers... Because when the wind blew out 1/4" hair, you could hear the soft "pings"...
Air Force personnel at our base when in town - dookies

We will maintain our strength as a nation only if our citizens adhere to the principles on which our country was founded upon.

Mick,
The military could not function, ifn they have no support from back home, so all of us are involved,1 way or another.

It's worked up till now,I can only hope it will continue after we're gone,and our children take over the guard for us.
