I still cannot believe the cost of ammo that we shot up and what the going rate is out in the real world is now. We burned out many barrels then and I only dream of doing such again even if it is on my own stuff. Nothing like having the hummer back end loaded with .50 cans going out and coming back with empty cans. Shooting on the fly hanging on to the gun as we are jumpin through the desert burning ammo on targets free gunning and recon by fire, I am getting old now, back to the TV and remote control.
Anyone else from 3/5 out there? found one at my work babysitting loosers/criminals in blue thankfully
Dear Fellow Members,
I am an Army 68W20 (Combat Medic) currently deployed to the Al Anbar province of western Iraq. I have six years of service. During my term, I have served in FT Benning, FT Sam Houston, FT Stewart, Japan, Kuwait, and Iraq, as well as being sent to participate in Operation Katrina Relief after the Hurricane which devastated the great state of Louisiana. I also had the rare privilege of serving as assistant NCOIC for a military honor guard team. We participated in different types of missions such as military funerals. I personally led, or participated in over 500 military funerals.
I am the only one my immediate family to serve in the armed forces. I am grateful for being so privileged to help defend freedom.
Respectfully Submitted,
SGT Jason S. Ashworth

20yrs 1month as a Spook. 'Retired' to inactive Fleet Reserves in 05, came back to Colorado. Been around the world a few times, figured this is as good a place as it gets for me to spend my time.
No, I tried to join right out of high school, but the MD doing the medicals said I had a bad heart. After seeing a couple of Cardiologist's who all said I was fit for duty, they still wouldn't let me join. That's probably my biggest regret in life.
Dang this is an old thread. Revived after 6 years! Nice to see who served where and when though.

I was medically discharged due to two broken knee caps from training. Never deployed and I miss the Army everyday. One of the best life experiences I ever had. Worst regret at the same time. I wish I had never got injured or fought harder to stay in and just re-class or something. At least I tried is what I tell myself. Better than some lame asses out there who bitch but never put in.

Basically, for the first half of my AF career, I had to put up with problematical loadmasters (zipper suited sun gods like Hoser). Then the second half I got rid of societies human garbage, pot heads to Al Quada and everthing in between.

Civilian here.
Years back I was very close to joining, and an enlisted buddy of mine at time asked my why I wanted to join.
I told him I wanted to get away from all the corporate BS I was putting up with in the private sector.
He replied that if my aim was to avoid BS, joining the military would be a huge mistake. So I didn't.
This was before 9/11.
I'd be over there right now if they'd have me, but it's too late.
I also regret not joining back when I was fresh out of college, single, and with no kids. Joining now would tear my family apart.

Then later one they changed 91A to 91C when they gave them the LPN 91B stayed the same.
Then the army decided to combine the two (Most likely to make it more apprealling for recruiting) and they called it 91W. "healthcare specialist" if you happen to get LPN school you were known as a 91WM6. Everyone else got EMT-B. you might call them "Combat medics". (I was the frist class that they converted to 91W)
3 years ago, the army removed alot of classification of jobs they no longer had. so 91W was turn into 68W.
Hope that answer the Question
Hell,,,, I never saw a hospital....[ROFL1]
Unless You count B-Haven, when I was doing my 4 months at the TMC in Garlstadt..
