One of the startest things I have read since i got out.
served in OIF3
I was a E-6 with the ASA came home after 4 years.
'77-'83 USN got out as a 2nd Class Fire Control Technician(E-5). I worked on the radar and computers that controlled the 5" guns on a couple of tin cans. Made it to the Persian Gulf before anyone ever heard of Bahrain. I wouldn't trade that time for anything now that I look back on it.
