Thanks to all who served and who are currently serving!
I was a Navy Radioman, RM3, serving from 1971-1975.
I did boot camp in Great Lakes, IL; Radio A School in San Diego; CW C School in San Diego. I spent 3 years as a CW op at NavCommSta Guam and still enjoy operating CW as an Extra Class amateur radio operator (NQ3D).
We currently have a son who just made AO2 (E-5). He is in the Navy and is stationed in the Navy Fleet Readiness Center at Andrews AFB in MD.
My Dad was a GM1 during WWII.

[kc10family]

AF family here
DH active duty almost 22 yrs, currently deployed to Qatar and due home w/i 7-10days
he was stationed at Beale (CA), Seymor Johnson (NC) and Travis (CA)
he has spent many days in the land of sand all over the Middle East. He is a Boomer by trade and then whatever else they tell him these days.

I am a 19 yr Reservist
started as a Hosp medic (Mather AFB CA) then moved on the flight medic (Travis AFB CA), then met DH and figured two flyers in one family makes it tough to have a family... so I took a desk job and now Career Advise people. I hav sepent time in the land of sand myself and done some great things as a medic that I wouldn't trade for anything.

As hard as it can be at times, we love serving.
