Veterans

[USMC-Johnson]

I've noticed a ton of vetrans on here already but i didnt find a thread for us. I was hoping to meet some more in here and hopefully have a good place to swap stories and things like that...feel free to shoot me down if its dumb but hey...i have the next 30 days of not doing anything getting paid before i can leave this hell of a desert. I always forget how good living things smell like grass, trees, that sorta ****.

I'm nate joined the Marines in 2009 did two combat deployments had a good time...who else we got here?

First thing that stood out at me, when I got home from the middle-east... how wet, green and humid Indiana is. Felt like I had been transported from hell to Eden.
