Who around here is or was Military ??
« on: September 19, 2009, 03:43:36 PM »
Just wondering how many folks around the site are ex-military, or still active, or retired.

I spent 23 years in and decided to retire, spent most of my time as Watercraft Engineer. Moved up the ranks for 12 years then decided to become a Warrant Officer 881A......

3 weeks shy of 24 years AD AF.

Waiting for line numbers for Oct to come out to find out if I'm 9 days or 1 month & 9 days from putting on Chief Master Sgt (E9)

Just re-enlisted for the last time to take me out to 30 years. I figured since it was the last time, I'd do it right... asked our Marine 2-star (I'm in a joint unit) deputy CG to do the honors on top of Mount Fuji here in Japan, at sunrise. So we climbed all night and reached the summit just after sunrise. One of the highlights of my career!!

I am an active Duty Lieutenant Colonel (Select) of Marines - should pin on here in a few months, guessing Feb - possibly Jan if they stick to last years numbers. 

I have been in the Marine Corps off and on now for 20 years, my broken time and reserve time before coming back on AD full time make me a career mongrel...  Retirement at 20 will be in 2018, and yeah - I am counting.

Was a Communications Officer until Aug - we PCS'd here to Quantico and now I am a Acquisitions Professional - I buy stuff - primarily IT hardware and software.  I miss being in the Fleet Marine Corps, but we all have a job to do, and this is mine for the foreseeable future.   :-\ :-\

Stick around you won't regret it.

yep - a Gunny from MARSOC...  nice guy and promised me he would take care of the house, which was a relief  

pondering what we will do if he doesn't renew, re-rent or sell it...  

I really, really want that house sold, or a long term renter.

I am going to have to do at least 22, when I hit 20 I will have my son in his Junior year of HS - no way I am going to make him move in the middle of HS...I did it and it SUCKED

I did a short 5 yrs in the USN.  Spent most of my enlistment in training schools and ultimately landed on the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) as a FC3 when she was home ported in Alameda California.

T'was good times!
