6 May 1992 I started my Enlistment - Initial Entry for Training.

Where Life has taken me:
Age 19
6 May - 9 July: Fort Sill OK
10 July - 24 Aug: Fort Bliss TX
16 Sep 92 - Mar 95 - Wackernheim Germany
Apr 95-May 97 - Seattle, WA (WA Army Nat Guard)
May 97-July 97 - Fort Jackson, SC
July 97-July 98 - Waegwon, South Korea (Camp Carroll)
July 98-June 00 - Fort Lewis, WA

Because of that Ft Lewis gig, I found the job I currently hold as a Army Civilian Employee...

I'm not 'great' now - but I shudder to think of who I would be if I hadn't obeyed my calling to enlist.

I'd thank God and stuff and junk...but it'd come across as cliche...Suffice it to say, I've been blessed beyond deserving the past 13 years..

:)

D, I thank you sincerely for your service, including desk jockey stuff. 1992, my youngest was 7. He was appearing before judges. While not the life and death stuff, I guess for him, unbeknowst, it was. Shoot!

Anyone who serves their county, military or civilian, deserves all of our thanks and respect.

Thank you for me... and my children!
 
glad the army helped you to become something better.

You're a father who provides for his family, celebrates the love for/of his wife and children and you actually show up for work everyday.
Not too shabby.

:thup:
 
Congratulations Darin.

I thank my stepfather for booting my butt into the Army. Lots of my high school contemporaries went off to college to party instead. Today, by and large, they're a sorry pack of self-centered losers who never grew up.

It's pretty damn scary. Had I not had the opportunity to get out of the loop for a while and do some maturing, I would probably be a democrat. Eeeeeewwwwww.
