Country:  | Hello!
First of all I served all of my time Army National Guard, when the only overseas duty we were getting was honduras (etc) peace building missions. I tried to volunteer Gulf I and was told that they would not break up the integraty of a scheduled unit. Two weeks after the "cease fire" I messed my knees up royally during a PT Test. (Best blessing in disguise I have every had, as my wife wanted me out!)
I have always been thankful for members of the other services. I had a friend that we would joke and carry on during the Military BIG ONE (ARMY v NAVY) and even though I obviously want Army to dominate, at the end of the game, my sentiments are that WE won! I realize that the quarterback for Navy (or Air Force) may well be the guy that answers "my" fire support call, and thuse the game is a good intramilitary way to poke jabs at the other necessary branches.
To make matters even crazier, the friend was USMC, but I had both army and navy in my family, as well as the fact that my father-in-law (for whom I have the utmost respect) is a navy CDR. |

Country: | Hey, Flip, first of all welcome to the boards! Secondly....active duty or National Guard/Reserves, YOU SERVED. Consider yourself one of the guys.  Heck, I would even venture to include EMS/police/fire in that "YOU SERVED" category. Not everyone who puts their life on the line for their country went overseas or fired a rifle.

Country: | Take care over there.
I have flown into your camp a few times when I was there. It was kind of wierd parking a Blackhawk between CH-53's and CH-46's! 
A bunch of my friends were in MEDVAC based out of there last year.
