Hey everyone, Is there someone here that is in the military? OR have been? Besides squid.

Thanks

I was in the Army 16T/ 14T

I retired  June 1st 2004  from the Navy! Saltwater is now for the fish. Im stayin in fresh water and searching now for only bass. Those big saltwater fish can eat you.     lol

Cast em if you got em!

hah nice, what were your retiring ranks? i am in navy jrotc. But i plan to be in the airforce.

Like I told Stickling in PM, I was in the Navy 9yrs, 3yrs in the Reserves.  I was a Hospital Corpsman Second Class Petty Officer(HM2/E5) when I got out.  Did my duty in Great Lakes IL, Okinawa Japan, Camp Pendleton CA, Desert Storm front lines.  Most of my Navy Career was spent with the Marines.

God bless all of you who proudly served our country!!  Our fishing hats are off to all of you!

Thanks!!

Well thank you AbelFisher, my hat is also off to those still over there helping to get that nation up and running again.

Got that RIGHT!  God bless them all!

Army Reservist for 11 years.  Deployed: Guatemala, Korea, and Iraq.  Rather carry a fishing pole than a M16 any day.    Fished a pond at Saddam's palace in Tikrit, Iraq.  Used corn from the chow hall.  Caught some little ones that looked like carp. It was different.  Waitin to go back, hope not though.

Marine corp 23 years, mos 8541 among others.  special designation 0369.  Love every day and miss is everyday.

I retired from the Army with 21 years in October 05. I was a Sergeant First Class and a M11A2 tanker. I still work with the military as a contractor. I bought my boat as my retirement present. I did enjoy my career but I am glad to be onto something else. I highly recommend a stint in any branch of the sevice.

Activy army 62-67 with a tour of Korea and Vietnam thrown in for good measure.  A tour of duty would do some a lot of good.

Hi, Followed family orders and went though ROTC program ended up in the PSYOP program.   I am now in the Reserves and back home attending school/working and hoping to finally start a family. I am scared as hell about getting re-deployed though.

Pray for our friends, family members and soldiers that they will return safely. May God watch over them.
