How many people here are or were part of the military? (including spouses/friends of, etc)
I like the military, even if I am leaving the Air Force soon myself, I like to know the positive impact it has made on people's lives. So if you have been affected got any fun stories to tell about them? I always love a good anecdote about that. Thanks in advance

How was your time in? Go anywhere fun/interesting?
I only went to 3 places during my time in; Iraq for a 4 month tour New Orleans for 1 month for the hurricane cleanup (BTW during this I learned just how scary it is seeing an outer band of a Hurricane wind hit you. I was down there when Hurrican Rita went by.. yikes landfall must really be scary after that). and I went to Sacramento for 5 days. |
