I was an Air Force medic active 94 -98 then transfered to the ANG from 98 to 03. Served back to back rotations in the desert in 98 and 99. Left one AEF, after returning from the desert, and joined what happend to be the next AEF to rotate in. Lucky me! Currently, I am in PA school at UF. I enjoyed my time in and would love to return after graduation to finish my career.

 

GO GATORS!

Fireguy-tough badge. Spent most of my time in the same time period training but never getting the chance to go do it for real.

 

To all of you who feel slighted that you served just a few years, or were never sent to combat, know this:

 

When you stand at the table and toss the dice, you can't know whether it is going to be WWII, Viet Nam, or 5 years of peace. The moment you toss the dice, your cances are all the same. Whether it was 4 or 30 years, you did your time, took your chances, paid your dues, and earned your bread.

 

I guess it is different for people in the medical proffession during war. I have guilt, enough to last a lifetime. I am one of those foolish thinkers.

 

I say get on your knees and thank the good Lord that the cup was passed before you.

Master Guns,

 

You pretty much nailed it! Being active in peacetime can be as dangerous as war. I've lost many brothers on jumps, helo ops, fast ropes, etc. etc. The sad part is....America doesn't realize the sacrifice until something like OIF, Just Cause or Restore Hope. Then it is temporary at that!

Hey MSGT, I believe I promoted you with the title "Master Guns." Honestly, any rank of GySGT or above started to blend together...too many "stripes." What do you expect? I was only a pecker-checker!!!!!!!

Master Gunz is in fact, one rank higher than what I have. Like Sgt Major or Master Chief.

 

And you are correct, that appreciation is a temporary thing. Most people don't realize people on the Marine Corps flightline work 72+ hours a week, with all movements, etc, shceduled over the weekends to maximize deployment time etc.

 

And P Checker is the only honorable job in the navy! God Bless!
