    Default Just curious- service?

    I've seen a lot of posts on here that have me really wondering, and I'm aware of a few (Like Bailey Guns' son) but I'm curious to know, how many service members do we have on here? Active? Retired? Or Veteran? What branch, and how long if you don't mind my asking?
    Me:
    Army, 2006-2010 (currently working with IRR on MEB paperwork since I don't meet retention requirements for medical reasons).
    3 years with 3rd IBCT, 10th Mountain Div.
    12months deployed to RC East, Afghanistan OEF-IX 12/2008-12/2009.

    Not even close for basic. I was up on Pro-Train Hill. You know, the one with all of the old ass WWII barracks with no heat, no hot water unless you were first to take a shower and splintered wood floors that had to be waxed/buffed almost daily.

    AIT, on the other hand, was definitely Relaxin' Jackson.

    Oh, and before I forget...
