Those are some amazing pictures davidmil. I've been to the desert multiple times but I can't imagine fighting a war like Nam. Thank you for your service.
My Squadron in the assult during the summer second offensive of 1968. 521 dead NVA. We started with 105 vehicles running and finished with 65. One Medal of Honor for a worthy grunt on loan to us, a couple DCS's and a bunch of bobbles later.... it was over after 3 days. We know we got a whole lot more.... but that was the count. I believe this was actually a picture by some freelance photographer that somehow bumbed a ride. The doc found it in archives. My first horse and Purple Heart. Lost my driver. Sad day. Lost medic track
U.S. Coast Guard, Operation Specialist 2nd Class, 1998-2006. COMMSTA Kodiak, AK U.S.C.G. Academy New London, CT Thanks for everyone's service.
Army 11 bravo(infantryman) SSG 2000-2013 Kosovo, Iraq twice, and Afghanistan I have lots of respect for Vietnam vets like Davidmil, I've had some rough days but I know they don't compare at all to the hardships those men faced.
US Army 8 August 1996 - Present Infantry for about 9 years, switched over to flying Kiowa's and been doing that since 2004 now. I'll hit 20 years in August of 2016, haven't decided about dropping a retirement packet when I'm eligible because my board for CW4 is 6 months before I hit 20 so may wait and see what happens with that.
I would definitely wait for board results. I signed a dec statement a couple months before the 2012 SFC list came out and I had made the list with a low sequence number. I was pretty upset with my decision at the time, I eventually accepted it.
I was not but I come from a Military & Police family & have the utmost respect for all of u thank you Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
USMC 1976 - 1997. Nine years enlisted last 12 as an officer in the grunts. Two and a half trips around the world, 26 countries. Served with some great Americans, and every time I came home I appreciated the good old USA all that much more.
