I was an O-3 at one point in time in my career, but I retired as an E-8. There is quite a story behind this but I will never go into the details with you or anyone else. Some of my retired military friends know the details, but no one else in my life does, not even my wife.
I have returned to edit and add some additional info. I was an O-3 in charge of a "Black OP's" mission in Nam that went south. Ultimately I was lucky to be able to finish out my thirty. That may help you to understand why it is something I will not talk about.
My oldest son spent 3 years in the Army and 5 years in the Marines. When he was in the Army he was a TAC SAT Micro Wave Sytems Operator, and was attached to a Pershing II Nuclear Missile unit in Germany. I don't remember what Pershing II unit it was.
