U.S. Marine Corps. First Mediterranean float I went to England, Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Greece,  Israel, and Mombasa Kenya. My second Med float we got dropped off in sunny Beirut Lebanon for 4 months of R&R. My third float was a NATO, I got to see Norway, Denmark, and Amsterdam Holland. My MOS was communications, I was attached to an artillery battery for 4 years, then a wing squadron for my last three years. In the middle there somewhere I did a year and a half teaching at a comm school. I don't regret a day of my service. I'll admit a few times I said to myself "what the hell am I doing here".

USMC 1970-1996 RVN, DSDS and other interesting points between that we do  not talk about in public.  I love this nation-and having been to many others, like the rest of you, know why.  I think we are   free for what our forefathers did for us and the rest of the world.  I hope we have a government that understands the sacrifices and pains the women and men endure-and use their talents wisely and with purpose.
