Then two years Michigan National Guard, running into trees in the dark. Supply, so I could go literally to any outfit.

Went from a regular Army first line, VIP, Elite missile outfit to the medical battalion of the MIch Natl Guard - we ran Camp Grayling hospital with our own personnel, which was not the case with most other states who at the time also used Grayling for summer encampment.

How long ago? Eisenhower was president when I was on active service.

Has anybody been to Fort Hood in July? For basic infantry training? Guaranteed you would never forget it if you did. Then Ft. Ord, Calif. for supply school - tough duty. Weekends in San Francisco.

Most of my time has been enlisted but I got commissioned a couple years back and now I am Company XO for my unit. I think most military people have some interest in war gaming be it computer, board game, or even paintball.

Der er mange som ikke ved at infanteriet på Bornholm historisk ser er tæt knyttet til marinen. Der er (var?) faktisk Danish Marine Corps :p

Og vi kunne jo slås i modsætning til mage af de pyntenakker som spankulerede omkring i resten af landet ;)

What is there to defend on Bornholm except fending off drunk Swedish high-schoolers ferrying in from Ystad?? :D

"Pyntenakker" - now there's a Danish word I have to memorize.

I så fald er "Marinekorpset" nu nedlagt. Alt forsvar af Bornholm er overgået til Hjemmeværnet:)

Den eneste Hærenhed på Bornholm er SPJESK/III/GHR, der er kronisk udstationeret til enten Bosnien, Kosovo eller Afghanistan.

TO THE REST; SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION, JUST A BIT OF INTERSERVICE RIVALRY, REGULAR PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE WILL RECOMMENCE:D
