Quote: no flamin from me but I gotta say you must get a real hard time from fellow jar heads, cuz that almost considered treason by their standards Not really, but I don't get to meet any Marines around here anyway. All the ones I know are long time friends that dun care too much. Besides, I got almost 300 hours of flight time with about 75 of that being with NVGs. Small price to pay for being in the National Guard and a little crap from some Marines.  _______________ - Threat Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Rivian, AKA Chaos Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Phantom Owner of Grycen's 180th comment, Raydoe's 455th comment, and Rivian's EVIL 666th comment! |

U.S. Marines - '88 to '92. Helicopter mechanic on CH-46s (think older, smaller brother of Chinook). Home based in Hawaii, but hung out in Okinawa and the Philippines for a year during Desert Storm. U.S. Army National Guard - '98 to '02. Helicopter crew chief (aircrew) on UH-60s. Did some time at NTC at Ft. Irwin as white cell (whew!), JRTC at Ft. Polk as white cell (whew!), and Guatemala for medevac duty for the engineers rebuilding infrastructure in the jungle. The Marines was cool and flying in the Army was cool. However, the U.S. Army leaves a little to be desired when compared along side the Marines IMHO. If you haven't been in both, you might not have the same perspective. I anxiously await the flames.  _______________ - Threat Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Rivian, AKA Chaos Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Phantom Owner of Grycen's 180th comment, Raydoe's 455th comment, and Rivian's EVIL 666th comment!

I'm going to serve for the first time next year, I think, but I'm going to this "session" thing next Tuesday where I will be deemed fit/unfit to serve. Also, I can state where I want to serve. I'll probably try to get into the engineering squadron.  _______________ In the navy and LOVING it!

Currently serving in the Royal Navy. As all new ratings do, I completed my Phase One training at HMS Raleigh, and will soon do a course at the Royal Navy submarine school to become a weapons technician in the submarine service. |
