My husband was in Vietnam for about 6 months. He was critically injured in a blast of explosives that they were transporting. He saw a good friend of his just blown away.
God Bless ALL those who have served, are serving and will some day serve.

It was a love hate relationship because I was a SAW gunner for the first two years then became a team leader. Was stationed at Fort Hood Texas. The crappiest post on earth

I know it is. I went there for a JRTC rotation and it was the most miserable time of my life. Pretend laser tag fighting against some high speed unit called Jeronimo.

I enlisted in the army in 2007 but I did reserves first because I was 17. My MOS was 12 whiskey which is carpentry and masonry specialist . Did the whole split ops and went to Ft Benning Georgia for basic training, AIT was in Gulfport Mississippi which is a seabee base. Lobster for chow almost every week was fantastic there! I was sent to the 336 engineer company in Weirton Wv and loved it there. I later switched to active duty as Cavalry Scout and loved every minute of it but it definitely was a challenge from being reserved for too long. I was sent to 3-66th AR at Fort Riley Kansas in 2015 when I went active army. I got put due to a medical discharge. I regret getting out but got custody of my son a year later. On one hand im glad I got out but another I miss the brotherhood. I never deployed unfortunately within the 8 years of being in the Army and got into breeding to keep me busy, too much of downtime inside my head isn’t a good thing
