Status: offline 		Just a quick ?, who on here was in the military and what did they do? I tend to believe that most of us were in or wish they were in the military ( I know - no s&^% )

I wanted to be a Marine but tore my back up and had to settle for being a Suppo - my favorite job was in a SeaBee battalion where I got to play marine for a few years!!

The time spent on ships is what got me so interested in naval warfare and the PTO in particular. Although Beirut was a nightmare, I did have the pleasure of being a passenger on the New Jersey when she was there. Nothing quiet like the sound and feel of those 16" guns in action.

Served three month special TDY with Isreali AF back in '82. Was in south Lebanon the day the Isreali's shot down the entire Syrian Air Force in one day. 82-0 that day. Made the Mariana's Turkey Shoot seem like a struggle....
