How many years in?

rj1,

That was a great post! You obviously understand the big picture of why people serve and thats worth recognizing. I spent three years at Bragg, although only about one year physically there. The rest was on deployment. Bragg was just my perm duty sta. All my time off was spent checking out NC and some of the rest of the Eastern seaboard. NC was my favorite and you are lucky to live there. I actually hope to retire someday(yea right) and live there again.
