I was originally thinking of joining as a Marine door gunner, but my best friend dragged me to the Navy recruiter for an extra one hundred in our marketing class.. 'because i wouldn't let him sign anything since i had my plan already'. needless to say those sneaky SoB's got us both that day. He quit three weeks in and i'm still plugging away. that was 1992! I still thank him today. The life expectancy of a door gunner is no way to make it to old age. Cool then, scares the crap out of me now!

Night Viper, It was odd. Given the field I worked in there were some incidents when we were out and about. One in particular that I'm not sure I can go into, but it was pretty mindblowing.
You'd be suprised all the things that go on, and the lengths people go to. "Peacetime" is usually a stressful time for people involved in anyway with intelligence. You could tell that while our services may have been appreciated during the Gulf War by the ruling family, that the rest of the population really didn't want us there, and had no interest in hiding it.

Sounds like pretty much my experience everywhere around that area too. Including Bahrain and Dubai. I totally understand, It seems like the message they are trying to send is "Thanks for your service now bugger off so we can go back to hating you properly."
