    8 or 9 years total(too lazy to get up and look at my discharge). 3 years AD starting in 85. Unc sam never let me out of cent america much so on 29 Aug of '88, I punched my own damn ticket home. I'm 41 in a few days and depending on who wins the next election and depending on the job Unc sam will give me, I plan to go back in at 43( I've got till 45). I'm sure I won't get in half as much trouble this time, lol!

    You surely are! It took me some time to get the khaki blood out of my system, and I had to force myself to think like a civilian.

    After 30 years of 'Service before self' ethos it wasn't easy, but it worked eventually. Tell us about your service.
