Re: Did you serve in the military?
Haha, I tried to serve in the Army National Guard.
I got through about a year, then they booted me with an entry-level separation for being fat and slow (and they mentioned something about asthma as well). I'm just glad they didn't officially discharge me... of course, that might mean they're getting soft, haha...
When I left, I was an E-3 (Private First Class for you civilian types). I still have my Warrior Card in my wallet, my boots are under my desk, and my dog tags are around here somewhere...

Re: Did you serve in the military?
I am a 15 Yankee in the South Carolina Army National Guard. I work on the armament, electrical, and avionics systems on the AH-64 Longbow Apache. I will have served four years in December. I am currently an E-4 / Specialist and I should be getting promoted to Sergeant / E-5 soon. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

4 years as a Volunteer Firefighter/EMT with the Crewe Volunteer Fire Dept. in Crewe, VA. I went through Firefighter 1 & 2, Haz-Mat Operations, and CQ SCBA courses. Our average number of calls per year was about 450 of with I responded to about 400. If you ever get a chance to be a Volunteer Firefighter, I would recommend it. It is the biggest rush you will ever get in life, to run into a building that everyone is running out of!

Re: Did you serve in the military?
I have not actually served in anything, but I did go through a basic firefighter training years ago.
I also plan on serving in the United States Marine Corps after graduation from USC with Criminal Justice major.

Re: Did you serve in the military?
I was in the USAF for 3 1/2 years(I got out early so I could take a contracting job in Germany). Was stationed in England during the First Gulf War. Did a lot of drinking there since I was only 19, but the drinking age in the UK is like a ride at Disney. If you're taller than the bar, then you can drink.

If I deleted a post it didn't need to be there or I simply didn't like it.
