“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

Korean School, Defense Language Institute, Monterey
501st MI, Ft. Huachuca, AZ
MID, 1st SFG, Ft. Lewis, WA
HUMINT Plt, 2nd ID, Uijongbu, Korea
Strat D, Seoul, Korea
MID, Camp Boniface, Panmunjom, Korea

There are many, many days when I miss the Army, and the good times and good friends I made. But it did suck, also. Like I often tell people who ask, I wouldn't trade it for a million bucks, but I wouldn't do it again for a million bucks, either.

I was at DLI just before they closed Ord. Sort of sad, actually. 7th ID was already a thing of the past, and only a couple support units were left.

Started at Basic in San Antonio, Texas followed by Sheppard AFB, Texas for Tech School. First station was Camp Darby, Italy for 2.5 years. Went TDY to Tel Aviv, Israel and Qatar while there. Then headed to Minot, ND for 2.5 years, however a year and a half of that was spent in Guam working with the Navy at Gab Gab. Left ND in November of 2007 and have been at Hancock Field, NY and Fort Drum, NY since. We don't haave much for deployments here but we go about twice a year for disaster relief.

Love my time in and all of my fellow brothers and sisters I have made along the way.

I left just prior to the draw down. It was a great post and a great area. I knew the post was doomed when they built us a new commissary (1992).....

All the bitching people did about the military occupying such prime real estate, they were crying the fucking blues when it finally closed and all the money left with it. Used to irk me to listen to everyone complain, but they were more than happy to take your money.

I am being serious. If we have a mishap we fight the fire if personnel are involved. Fire dept will set up cones while EOD takes care of the mess.

Yep. We had an aircraft fire one day. Fire department shows up and tries to safe the plane. They fail miserably. We have one guy put out the hot brake fire and safe the plane all before the fire dawgs could get their tin foil suits on. Its best to just let the maintainers fight these types of fires instead of waiting for the fd to finish their jenga game and get on the flightline.

If you mean ssleeping then sometimes, yes. I work in a bomb dump. Did they tell you how to handle a SUU or ROcket engine fire?

Our FD here stays at the fire house until something happens. Then they respond, 30 minutes later.
