| #2 Posted on 24.8.05 1056.26 | Instant Rating: 2.77 | Yes, United States Marine Corps 2001-2003. It's only half of my enlistment because my recruiter forgot to secure a waiver for my past Ritalin useage (a misdiagnosis I might add) and when I went in for a physical one day, I mentioned the useage in response to a questionnaire and because of some wierd policy was honorably discharged about two weeks later.
I hate that recruiter.

Did tours in Korea and two years at the Presidio of San Francisco, which was one sweet place to live in the late 70s. Then hooked up with SFPD after that before back to the midwest.

I was too young for the Viet Nam era draft and I was too old for the current selective service registration. I believe that there are only a few years of people who fall into this crack, people who have never registered in any way for selective service. | The Thrill

Yep'er. 1992-1998: 3IU (unit level communications repair), 2nd Battalion, 127th Infantry, 32d "Red Arrow" Infantry Brigade, Wisconsin Army National Guard. (That's our unit crest you see to your left as my avatar.)
I used to maintain radio, intercom, and field telephone systems in M113A2 and M113A3 armored personnel carriers, and HMMWV's, too (Hummers to you civilians.) :-)
Stuff like this...
(RT-524 Army FM radio in a vehicular config. This sucker's 61 pounds.)
...and this.
(Junction box for M113A3's intercom system)
Split time between battalion HQ in Appleton, motor pools in Green Bay, Oshkosh and Fond du Lac, and Annual Training at Fort McCoy.
Basic @ Fort Jackson, Columbia, SC (go watch Danny DeVito's Renaissance Man...other than changing the fort's name, that's where I did boot camp: from the post HQ to the water tower to the confidence course, it's the real deal I was actually at in '93); AIT at Fort Gordon, Augusta, GA.
My old unit just arrived in Iraq...kick terrorist ass and come home soon, boys.

I'm by no means opposed to serving my country in some degree, but I'd make a lousy soldier.
My old man enlisted after high school and ended up a radar tech in South Korea. The day he shipped out was the day his draft card arrived telling him basically to go to Vietnam and get shot at.
He's told me some stories about old army buddies and NCO club antics and refers to the whole thing as a thrilling and unforgettable time that he wouldn't wish on anyone.

I seriously have all the respect in the world for people who serve in the military, because I know that it is something that I would NOT be able to handle.
