well I only have about 6 years of service in the Army. all but the last 3 months with the 82 Airborne. ( 504th ) did 3 tours of Germany. 2 in Korea, desert Shield ( no Storm. the pulled us out just before kickoff) played tag down in El Salvador, Nicaragua. was in on the invasion of Panama and Haiti. got to se 9 for FREE) Pink Floyd reunite at the Berlin Wall while "On Duty". did a few TDY's in Manila, Taiwan, Israel, Italy and couple other places.. all in all not that exciting of a career. I left as a E-6 but spent most of it as a E-4 or 5. I have over 500+ jumps in y book and my most important piece of colored ribbon that would impress the girls was the bronze star ( Panama ) and C.I.B. Burple heart ( 3 times ) and my MOST important piece of jewelry being my Wings and snow-cone... I did run thru Pathfinder school and got that too ( my last two years twas my MOS ) but most folks don't know anything about what that is or means ( thank goodness)
