Played with G.I. Joes on an active duty schedule for 5 years, then re-enlisted briefly when I was 14 or 15 for another 6 months before losing most of their guns and other accessories.

Why couldn't you do both? I did four years in the Marines, got out, got two college degrees.

Kiss Army checking in.

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.

Affirmative.
