    lol...I crewed in P2Vs (the old Neptune bomber) set up for ASW. Pick up a few bruises during choppy weather.)

    I wager my time in service is the smallest here, 18 days and counting. Going through ASBC at Maxwell AFB. Gotta tell ya, not digging Montgomery as the HQ for AETC.

    19 years, one month, and a couple of weeks. I enlisted in the MD ARNG in May 1989, entered active duty at Ft. Campbell, KY in December 1990 (deployed to SWA January 1991), left active duty from Korea December 1994 and returned to the MD ARNG, where I served in various positions until 9/11; mobilized September 2001 for airport security, March 2004 for chemical site defense, and April 2007 for detainee operations in Iraq. I have held one MOS, 11B, during my entire career, but have done about 50 different "jobs". On the civilian side, I am a cop in Baltimore, MD.

    Looks like you dropped out before retirement. Well, at least in my day you needed 20 years. Did you grow up in Baltimore? I grew up in DC. Get up to
    Baltimore from time to time, for a wedding or something like that. Before the Nats cames along, used to go see the Orioles play at least once a season.
    My sister-in-law buys and renovates those famous old rowhouses. Anyway, still a great town.

    I haven't retired yet.... I'm still in a drilling status for at least 10 more months. After that, we'll see.

    I'm thinking of joining the RAF, I mean Uni is fun with the girls and booze etc.. but you know, it isn't what I want right now. So er, hopefully.....I'll enlist sometime in 2008.

    Some people here have been in longer than I've been alive.

    You do that young man and you'll be the better for it. Challenges in life are met much easier once you find what you are made of. Good luck and go and do it!

    Quite right, Luke Davekins. No good being half-hearted about things.
