Echo Battery, 7th Field Artillery, 10th Mountain Division. Which is also 18th Airborne Corp. Desert Storm was winding down when I got out of AIT and they had stopped sending troops over so I missed it, which I had volunteered for.
Crewmember on a M198 Howitzer. Which we never took anywhere when we deployed.
Was QRF in Mogadishu and Port Au Prince. Did air assault, jungle warfare school, combat lifesaver, some other schools, and a couple other deployments before I reenlisted for Air Traffic Control and spent a year in South Korea. Volunteered for Bosnia but they wouldnt let me out of my assignment in Korea because of a shortage of air traffic control personnel. I liked combat deployments, and the medals that came with them.
