Don, you probably know about this already, but in case you don't, I found this U.S.S. Sellers association online: http://www.usnavyships.com/sellers/frames5.htm Eric Maietta

Don Doom -> (10/16/2002 7:13:55 AM)
Yep, I even found a book on the ships in the mothball fleet, which shows my ship in pretty bad shape before they wrecked her!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :(

1978, Belgian army; 2nd Bataillon de Carabiniers Cyclistes (Black Devils). Gunner on CVRT. Liked very much the "devise" of that unit: "Pour une dent toute la gueule" (approx. for a tooth all the mouth)...

White Falcon -> (10/17/2002 6:11:46 AM)
I was in the 2/325th of the 82nd Airborne Division (hence the name "White Falcon") from 1981 - 1985. It was not an experience I would recommend to most 17 year olds just getting out of high school like me, but now that I'm becoming a cranky old man, I'm starting to view my military service in a different light.

Irinami -> (10/17/2002 10:58:24 PM)
~4+ years casually (compared to most of you) studying military history and preparing as much as possible on a tight budget. Zero time in any official capacity. Translation? "I'm your worst nightmare... a citizen with a constitutional right to bear arms." id est, Militia as per the US Constitution and several Presidential acts, proclamations, etc. Ready to defend where I live any time, ready to serve if called up. My greatest thanks and my respect to those of you who have served. Thank you all.

Anyone else smell a Hall-of-famer around here? :p

To Belisarius: When we would have Swedish army to SPWaW?:) Maybe there is Sweden in version 7.2. Finland vs. Sweden sounds very funny;) There's a few centuries since Sweden was in war last time :D

Here is a site with OOBs for the Swedish military: http://www.ludd.luth.se/~antenna/t2k/index.htm Looks interesting. I don't know how accurate/current the info is. I hope it's helpfull. Eric Maietta

Sweden itself never used it in action. Actually the year when Sweden was last in war is 1816.

Antenna (Anti Henttu)'s site is about Twilight: 2000, an RPG from the mid-80's about World War III. I would say that he's based it off "current" (90's) Swedish OOB's, and it's reasonably accurate. Antenna's one of the greats in T2k-dom.

15 Months in 1986/1987 as fire control soldier in a tank artillery battery and one reserve exercise (and three additional "invitations" to reserve exercises - "Y-tours, wir buchen, Sie fluchen" :mad: ) in the German Bundeswehr.

It would be extremely off-topic to deepen this, but let's say that I finally became a conscienous objector against the service in the Bundeswehr and that I do not regard the part of the Bundeswehr I had to serve with as a military organisation. I regard the military as something very serious and nothing you can entrust to the, err, persons I experienced there. Roland

Frank W. -> (11/16/2002 4:17:25 AM)
i think this depends much on the unit in which u serve and of course the people..... i was in the "luftwaffe" besides that, i think it�s somewhat better than army, only a pity that i could not drive in a tank or something like that.

Proteus -> USN (11/23/2002 9:16:11 AM)

Regular Army 1979-1983 Tank Driver/ PLL Clerk (no guard duty and no thrown tracks) Was AVLB driver for a combat engineer company, but CO found out I had an accounting degree so offered me the PLL Clerk's job. Yea, I know, I wimped out LOL.... but hey, no guard duty. Reache rank of E5 (I was a very good scrounger.) Stationed two years in Germany and two in Kentucky.
