I will be around a while. Unless I fail out of school, no deployments for me for 2-3 years. Woohoooo. That doesn't mean that I might not get busy once in a while but I will make sure that I check the boards at least every few day.
lol. So my wife and I are going out to the theater this weekend. A friend of mine from Tacoma is coming down with his wife so we are all going out and I'd thought I wear my dress blues, man my pants barely fit. I think it's time I started running again....

Maybe in 2-3 years there won't be any war zone the US is involved in for you to deploy too Ron.....I just found these rose colored glasses in the bottom of my desk drawer ...

Yeah, wishful thinking, but as the world police we will be involved somewhere that we shouldn't be.
I'm aaaaight. I deploy the end of the month, originally it was mid month but got pushed back for reasons unknown. Otherwise been doing pretty good. Glad to see ya back ron!
I am actually in a hotel right now getting ready to fly out for Lousiana. We fly tonight at 7 pm, get into Alexandria, LA tomorrow around noon. Good-bye Hawaii!
I'm so sorry! Ft. Polk is the a**hole of the Army. It's not even good enough to qualify for the armpit. With my luck I will probably end up going there next year but I certainly hope not. With any luck I will be going to HI or maybe back to CO.
Well, I never served, but I want to thank all you gentlemen for serving our country and protecting the freedoms that previous generations fought to secure and protect.
My father was in the Navy 14 years. I have a cousin who is a Recon Marine, a best friend in the AF, and another buddy who is Army Delta and is about to be redeployed to Iraq.
Here's a question... (and I'm sorry to slightly derail here)
Is there a way to look up what someone from the past did for the armed forces?
I.E. My father died while I was in kindergarten and my mom never talked about his days in the military but when he died (he never served or talked about it while he was alive) I remember soldiers and I still have the folded flag that someone handed to me when my dad died.
Now I feel it is time to find out my past and see what my dad did, and what branch he served and such, My mother used to tell me that he was in it before they got married so she had no information when I asked her years ago
Long story short, what is the best resource to get more info on him???
Lassy, the best place that I can think of to start would be to call the VA and explain your situation. Request a copy of his DD214 from them. All you should need is his SSN.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to see if I can find his SSN, for I don't know it...
