kempfs92 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 depends on your MOS, if your combat arms, probably not, ait is just like an extension of basic. 21E, heavy construction equipment operator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmf21209 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 AD Air force here, been in a little over 3 1/2 yrs. Not in the chairforce either as 10Zin said lol. I do cable and antenna maintenance at WPAFB in ohio, we're the redheaded stepchildren of the Comm Squadron, because we're outside all the time and do real work. Plannin on cross-training into CE in the future. I agree with the claiming to be a veteran only if you have been on a REAL deployment, there's a computer guy here that has one of those "iraq veteran" stickers on the back of his truck...He sat in an air-conditioned room all day...

Got to deploy all over the world, some great places some not so great(The Deid). Been out for about two years now. Great experience but glad to be out.

RembaSS 1SG Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Have a good time back stateside, Marine. I remember getting my SS in 2005 and storing it in the garage for one year...bringing it out a year later with 4500 miles on it was like Christmas all over again. I served 21 years in Army tactical intelligence retiring as a 1SG with two tours of Iraq, last as a MiTT trainer of Iraqi soldiers and Sergeants. Been out two year, still working for the Army and still loving my truck. Couple of SSers on here are old soldiers of mine. Take care and Semper Fi. Air Assault, Air Borne, Lightfighter!!!

RembaSS 1SG Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hello Marine SSGT, I see you have been promoted since last we talked. 9 years, 4 tours of combat, and 6 deployments equates to 21 years, 2.5 years in Iraq, 3.5 years on the DMZ in Korea, and other colorful assignments....Just kidding you. Retired March 2007 as a First Sergeant and have not even put away my boots, uniform, or Class As. Drives my wife an Army CPT Physician Assistant (freshly back from her second tour to Iraq), CRAZY! Good Luck in your future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
