FNBADAZ06 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 OK, 2 Years active duty Army, 19 years Air National Guard. How do I vote that ??? Shazzam !!!!!!!! I'll change the poll rule so that you can make more than one selection Don't want to cheat you out of 2......or 19....years, depending on how you look at it edit: The poll will now allow multiple selections, Big Tom !!!!

Guest Mikey Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 To avoid the draft and end up in the Viet Nam jungle, I enlisted in the Navy when I was 17 yrs old (Kiddie Kruiser). Was a sonarman, 3rd class petty officer. Spent 6 months in the combat zone and got $65 a month for "Hazardous Duty Pay" since it was only a "police action" and not a declared war so we didn't get "Combat Pay"! Hated when the hippies in San Francisco called us "baby killers". Glad our guys are being treated better now and not being degraded for being a soldier.

Grayeagle Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Amen Mikey .. the pendulum has swung a bit from our days. I still get my hackles up a bit when some bubblehead 'news' flack starts goin on about someone comin home. We sure as HELL were not welcome. -Frank aka GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 I would've thought we had more than 23 active members who were/are military, but not suprised to see that the AF leads in the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Cross, that's a strange number of years to do service. Why'd you leave after 10? You were half way to retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F22trainer Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Air Force Reserve - 2 years365th Detachment Southwest Texas State UniversityTemporary Duty at Edwards AFB Dad retired from USAF 1968, Langley AFB, VA after assignments in Da Nang, Chanute AFB, Chicago, IL. Marshall Islands, Harlingen TX, and San Marcos, TX Gary AFB. Found out after he passed away, he had planned to enlist in the Navy, but the recruiter office was closed the day he went into town. Since he lived on a farm, he decided not to waste the trip and went into the AF recruiter office across the street, enlisted and went to ATC school then OCS and got his wings.
