I am proudly serving in the Army for the past nine years and love it. I am currently serving as a Drill Sergeant crushing chumps, remarking clay and producing men. So come on in and hopefully you will come see you and I can shoe you some brotherly love. He He He. Lol.

I really want to become a ranger and one day special forces. Its something ive dreamed of since i was a child.

Curious how your goals have changed or your status wrt the above comments. Not encouraging anyone to enlist or go through officer training, just nosy or curious.

what job did you have and if you could have done something else what would you have done?

Was a rated journalist, mentioned that in this thread previously, but did mostly clerical work. Was also one of the ASROC rovers onboard -- first ribbon was for marksman, probably what I was most proud of during my military service. lol That little ribbon. Plus a ton of other collateral duties like many military personnel. Wouldn't have done anything else. Advancement for journalists was good and it was a fun job as well. Clerical duties with the yeomen and personnelmen wasn't a bad gig either.

same I wish I would stayed in for 20.

X2 And that or a variation of those words ^^^^ probably the most oft repeated statement.

Thank you for your service, brother.

Ain't no way you'd ever get me to join the military.

(Mildly curious whatever became of our eager young recruit? I wonder if anybody ever clued him in on Air Force Forward Air Controllers? Badass boys with badass toys. )

6 years in the army. I was 11b(airborne infantry). Was kind of in a special unit. Worked with ODA(operational detachment alpha) and some SF guys. Did plenty of SKT's(small kill teams) and other cool shit. Got to grow a beard and a mohawk because we were so far out from everyone else and had a cool PL(platoon leader) who was a cowboy. He wanted to get into a firefight everyday. He was cool as shit because he was a prior enlisted e-6 and was tired of seeing pussy officers running platoons into the ground. If I was single I would have stayed in for 20 years. My daughter was a "daddy's girl" and had bad separation problems. When I was deployed my wife had to take her to a therapist. After that I said enough was enough and got out. But do I miss it...every fucking day. The part I miss most...the brotherhood! That my bro on either side of me would die for me and me the same for them. That was my second family.
