The disaster at Ft. Hood, and a couple of the posts here at this site got me to wondering; How many of us are veterans and how did we serve. Feel free to participate, or not. Either is fine. I'll start.

"They say you forget your troubles on a trout stream, but that's not quite it. What happens is that you begin to see where your troubles fit into the grand scheme of things, and suddenly they're just not such a big deal anymore." - John Gierach

After the Marine Corp, I joined the Army National Guard as a 155 Howitzer crew member and then when I moved to Florida, I joined the USAF Reserves for three years. Yes, I know that I am a very slow learner, but I learned lots from each branch of the service and met some terrific people along the way.
