I served. Army Reserves.

Never deployed and basically checked oil in Humvees that never moved for four years. Gave cold weather power point training to soldiers in the heat of the summer and gave warm weather power points in the cold of winter.

The people and leaders I met were great for perspective and the training in basic and AIT was fantastic for my now private sector career.

My military experience was about as bland as you can get. People and friendships were awesome, execution in my space of the military was dumb af.


This thread sucks, mainly due to me telling my non-existent war stories.

I flew an Apache in a video game with Madman. Crashed. Had some kid tell me I sucked as a pilot.

Here's me and the rib as I was leaving for war. She wasn't happy about where I had my hand before the big flash. We went out for craft beer after that, which explains the wax on my mustache.

M draft number was 7. I tried to quit school and volunteer for Viet Nam, my Mom started crying when I asked her. Her brother was a 21 year old Lt. B24 Liberator pilot killed in training crash for The Ploesti Raids in 1943.

Some of my friends went, some didn't come home. One guy's bones were found in Cambodia 2-3 years ago, KIA 1969.

They stopped the war the week I was to report.

I didn't serve my country, it bothers me to this day. I went to college
