Who's ex-military

[ikky68]

Just being nosy.

Can I get branch of service, and years served.

If you feel forthcoming with information, would you have changed anything?

Info:
I'm ex-Navy. I served for a little over 7 years.
My change is that I would have stayed in for the other years and retired after 20/25.

USN 5yrs

 

[Streck-Fu]

Retired USN.
12 years active 8 reserves. Retired 08/11.

Every time I think I should have retired from active duty, I remind myself that my sons were born after I went into the reserves and I was fortunate to not miss a single birthday or life event.

 

[IndyUSMC]

9 Years active duty USMC.

I do miss the camaraderie, but I do not miss the 6 month deployments. I got out before the last two wars started so those six month deployments would have turned to 1 year deployments.

Yup, I would change the whole testicular cancer thing. I really didn't want to get seperated from my Beloved Marine Corps and lose my ex wife at the same time, but I guess what doesn't kill you does make you stronger.
