@Buzzweiser, you just advanced to level 1!

When I arrived at Goodfellow for training the commander told us if we wanted to walk, go ahead. They had a three day line of sight before they would have to send the APs to pick us up.

Missouri is in 2 states right?

Maui mean

Nope. Just one state.

Haha I am buzzed typing

Maui is the party island in Hawaii.

Kauai is the garden or honey moon island.

Wow. I ❤ the military

When I was in under Reagan,I did basic in Missouri, and then training in Texas, California, and Mass. Permanent party was at Schofield Barracks, Hi.

Went to college in San Antonio. ❤ to see the huge airplanes and the figjter jets flying across the city. Plenty of bases there

I got distracted. I'm in CA now. I grew up an AF brat until junior high and then enlisted in the Navy after HS.

Lived in San Antonio as a kid - dad was stationed at Shephard AFB.

Sorry Wichita Falls.

Army here. But AIT was on a joint service training station in San Angelo.

@Whithers, you just advanced to level 8!

San Antonio was where I was conceived... True story.

lol

I am jealous of you warriors in here. My dad is retired. I tell him all tje time that I wished his guts passed to me so I could have enlisted

I'm a soldier

Not sure I would call myself a warrior... I was a squid.

Of fortune

Lol

😄 I am happy you know your life story. My son was conceived there too 😄.

I did try out for Seal consideration when I was boot camp. It was a reason to get out of the barracks for a while. I couldn't complete the pull ups...

Sounds like a lot of people fornicate in San Antonio

I should head out there.

Well, yeah. I was a code breaker. My job was either to be REMF (Rear Eschalon MFr) or to be FLOT (Forward Line of Troops). So, my life expectancy if the balloon went up was either years in the first case, or 3.6 seconds in the latter case.

Well a hero (potential hero, you signed the dotted line) then because i didnt even have the cojones to sign up

@Buzzweiser, you just advanced to level 2!

Too funny... My parents were both in the AF in SA for basic training.... they got married there thinking my dad was headed to Vietnam. I was born 9 1/2 months later.

It helped that my dad went bankrupt as I was finishing HS and I had no place to live once he lost the house.

Has infantry always been a short life expectancy. F that. God bless anyone with those guts

@Whithers How did you end up in Army Intel?

I scored high on Asvab and Dlab.

They sent me to DLI to learn Korean.

By the time that I was ready to join the military I was too old to be accepted. In my youth I didn't want to be controlled or told what to do and when to wake up. I have full respect for those that are willing to put their lives on the line for not just mine, but the freedom of everyone in this nation.

@True, you just advanced to level 1!

If I would have know I would be selling g insurance in Indiana when I was 19, ai would have joined up.

Amen to that

I still remember enough to get into trouble. But couldn't always hear the difference between a G, GG, and K. So, when I couldn't be a translator they made me a code breaker.
