Hats off to all who served. It ain't easy.
First MOS was Army Unit level communications maintainer (AKA COMMO guy) Rank Specialist E4.
Last MOS was Army CID Special Agent.
Rank Sergeant First Class E7.
Never deployed overseas but my CID reserve unit was activated in 2002 for protective services in DC for 2 years. I was on the Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz team.

Small stint USN. Boiler Tech USS FairfaxCounty LST-1193. Amphibious tank landing ship. Looking at water for months at a time was not what I considered fun but taught me discipline and punctuality.

Thank You for your service BuckeyeCuda!
Have not been on here awhile. Sorry. I am restoring Military (Vietnam Era Jeeps) called M-151's that were made and in Service from 1960-1988, until they were replaced by the HMMWV. I was in the Marines from 1984-2012. Semper Fi by brothers in arms.

I drove a M-151 in the Army. F-ing things have 12 u-joints! I could never keep the u-joints, or wheel bearings happy. Probably hurt them from fording water.
