Thank you guys, job well done. I'm just an old vet from by-gone years...It warms my heart to see you getting the respect you deserve. Again, thank you...

Cheers to you that currently serve and those that have serveed. I was once asked what it feels like to be retired from the armed forces. My reply is that I am humbled. I spent 26 years in the Air Force, did my share. But I never stormed the beaches of Normandy or pushed through the jungles of Vietnam. I wasn't there kicking in doors in Baghdad or dodging sniper fire in Afghanistan. I am humbled because to be a veteran puts me in a class of people that I can't hold a candle too.

 

[retired1]

About bloody time I got some backup in here.

 

[mac63]

Well I guess it's time for the Marines to crash this party.

Where's the booze?

 

[retired1]

See?!! I KNEW we shouldn't have let Army in. They ALWAYS forget to lock the door behind 'em.

 

[Tatoocoyote]

There was a door??? I just drove through the wall 17 years and still going as an Armoured Crewman in the Canadian Army.

Hey y'all!
Retired from the Army system in 2005 as an E7 from Virginia, 92Y4H. Never went anywhere (one reason I retired..) A few years after I retired I moved to Texas and joined the Texas State Guard, the official Texas Militia. Got myself deployed to the Texas/Mexico border for 2 years (where I started vaping!!) and just left them last year as a SMG.
Also, grew up as a Corps brat, so nothing bad to say about Marines!
Sometimes bad stuff about the Air Force... Best friend was in that.. Guess he was the only one I talked bad about them to

Now, see, if ya'd all used a vault door........ Oh.. never mind.. I use to crack those... :O

 

[SthrnCelt]

Served under Reagan...so the most action I saw was at Nuremberg's "wall" if you know what I mean.

US ARMY, 4 yrs, exit in 1985.
31E, Field Radio Repair
Last duty assignment DSB 257 ADA - Katterbach heliport

May have little Celts running around Europe

 

[MarvelMyxer]

It is a shame that the old farts, your words not mine, lol, didn't get the same respect. I love chatting with and hearing stories from older vets, and i always make sure to thank them, because i know they didn't get the same reception and treatment i do. Good to see other vets on here, hopefully making a decision to make themselves better by getting off the cigs. Keep it up and look forward to talking with all of you.

First off. My hats off to all of you - Active, retired and reserve.

There are very few that have not had the privilege of service that understand what being a veteran means. Sadly, this means that we often do not get the respect and thanks I truly think we, especially you who fought wars before I was even born, deserve. So, it's not much, but my most profound and fervant "thank you" to all your service.

BTW:
I'm an active duty USN CPO (E7). 21 years of service. Ten deployments, three wives and nine years overseas.

Cheers to you all.

Salute! And while that word may seem that I'm saying cheers, it also explains what I did when I read your post.

Thank you for your service!
