Branch US Army Active

Job: MOS 63B10H8 Wheeld Vehicle Mechanic/Recovery Specialist

Years of Service: 4, and obligated for another 4 and by then i might as well do 20...I have been at Fort Drum NY the entire time. DOnt nessecarily like it here, but my wife has a REALLY good job here, so rather than uproot her, I am staying so she can further her career.

FWIW, You Sir Charles have the same specialty and everything that my dad had in the air force for awhile. I dont know how he did it, but he retired as a Colonel In 2002....i am 23 and i know he was in the service LONG before i was born...he retired at 28 years of active service and it was a medical retirement, thats about all i can tell you.

Name: Jim

Rank: Specialist 4

Branch: US Army

Job: Newspaper reporter, Company Clerk

Years of service: 1 year, 9 months, 21 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes (Really! I gave myself back-to-back "early-outs".)

Assignments: Fort Riley, Kansas; Grafenwöhr, Germany

Schools: Ft. Still - Artillery Surveyor

I certainly had a odd military "career". In exchange for dropping my application for officer candidate school as Ft. Sill OCS was shutting down towards the end of the Vietnam war, I was given a choice of duty stations to serve out the final few months of my original two year commitment. I chose Ft. Riley, Kansas since it was close to home, I had lots of friends there and I wanted to go with them to Octoberfest and tour auto plants in Germany during the annual Exercise REFORGER war games.

To say the least, I was very fortunate.

I have a Veterans license plate on my Lexus.

[Sir Charles]

Welcome to the thread. I also have Veteran plates on my SC400, Mustang GT and Durango SLT.

[Sir Charles]

I hope everyone had a good Veteran's day. I spent that day in the Hospital with my Dad who is a retired E-9/Navy.
