Glad the Depression is gone

I dealt with that after I got out. Its not fun.

I see that the 'supposed' free speech we have is a selective one. WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHER POSTS FROM ME ON THIS THREAD? Are we censoring the speech of others that is disagreable to the few?

4 years in the Army, active duty as a TOW/Dragon Missile tech, served in Desert Storm, attached to the 4-34 Armor, were about 2K back from the line that moved in the curve up through Irag, near Bagdhad. After, worked in PSYOP and M.I. attached to the Special Forces. I agree, I would go back in in a second, but too old and too fat now

Paternal Granddad= 5 years on Destroyers in the Pac. 1941-1945
Dad= 4 years on Diesel Subs in the Atlantic 1961-1964

Me= Cryptologic Tech US Navy 79-90 never assigned to a ship or boat loads of time on P3's Was around and played very minor parts in the Attack on Libya, assisted the Brits in the Falklands, And played chicken with Russian "Fishing Trawlers" that had more antenna's than a radio station. worked with the DEA for a bit, and in general got to see a LOAD of really interesting info that never made it to the news. I also got to be shot and have my shipmates killed in the sugar cane fields of Puerto Rico. The Puerto Rican terrorists that President Clinton pardoned are the ones who used LAWS rockets to destroy the Federal Building in San Juan, Ambush a 37 passenger bus loaded with unarmed sailors and kill 23 of them and to attack out building with sniper fire on a regular basis.

The United States Air Force
5 years
AFSC 46470
Explosive Ordnance Disposal...That's Military Bomb Squad for you civi's.
I was trained in the Rendering Safe and Disposal of ALL forms of explosive devices, munitions (Chemical, Biological and Nuclear included) and Systems. That
includes ALL munitions and system made by ANY country in the world.

In that capacity I also worked with the Secret Service on Presidental Protection and during the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco.
