[Que]

Army 10 years, Fort Bragg, NC - AIRBORNE!

I loved being deployed before getting married, but right after I jumped the broom we were deployed Haiti (4th deployment). I missed my wife and couldn't stand it, so I asked to go to Drill School. I guess I was more needed as a recruiter and that's what they gave me. After putting up with Hoosiers for three years, I tried to go to Germany, but was told I had to go to D.C. I wasn't having that, so I ETS'd. I could not see spending anymore time in Class B's every day. I wouldn't be able to jump anymore. No more battalion/brigade runs. No real unit! I couldn't do it.

If I were to change anything, it would be my wife's decision that I cannot join the ANG/AR and finish my 10 years in the JAG Corps. I doubt this happens, so I guess I'm left with some pretty cool memories of great times I've had.

 

[LionWeight]

USAF
8-82 - 8-88
811X0- thats nuclear security at SAC.

What would I change, I would never have picked SAC to join again. There's a saying and it was true for me. "once you go SAC you can never go back"

I put in for east coast, west coast and overseas. I spent all my time at Wurtsmith AFB in MI, which is where I was from. I would have picked a specialty that would have landed me on a TAC base. That would have given me the locations I wanted.
