I'm a retired US Air Force Lt Col. I had 8+ years active duty (wx guy), 10 years Air National Guard, and 6 1/2 years Air Force Reserve. I never went overseas, so to those of you that did, especially if you went to war, thanks for your service and a salute from me to you.

For those service members from other countries, a salute from me to you also for your service to your country.

Active Duty USMC in the 80's, now on the reserve side of the house since 2002

Modern Armor/Figures/ Helicopters

OOORAH!!!

Retired after 24 in '94. U.S.N. OTAC (Ret)

Former Active Duty US Army (1989-1992). Served as an Engineer Officer in Korea, Ft Leonard Wood - with a trip to the sand box for Persian Gulf 1. Off the Army books as a Captain. Build mostly armor (and mostly Tamiya) with the occasional airplane and ship.

Did 4 years in the Marines from 2004/2008. Originally assigned an Admin MOS, but ended up being in the S-3 working training and ops for the last three years of my career. Deployed to the Phillipines ISO OEF and Thailand and Korea for several exercises, probably the only Marine I know never to step foot in Iraq/Afghanistan.

I now work for the Department of the Army as a GS employee managing the Casualty branch in Heidelberg Germany. Tough job dealing with death, but its an honor to assist the families of soldiers who gave all and retirees with faithful service to our country.

I was only 1 year in the army.
But it´s very interesting, to see how much long-time service-men are here!!!

greetings...
