First question, did you ever in your service of the nation, feel like you were in GI Joe

Only when training with the SEALs and EOD teams, but that's classified.

cool, for me it was never anything as serious as that.
it usually was only when we split off from the main group to individual details... mundane jobs out of the normal mundane jobs, that kind of thing.

Not many will admit to serving?

Can't say I ever felt like I was in GI Joe, since I never saw the Joes do area beautification details or kill anyone. XD

Money-B: Which is kind of funny because you can tell that alot of them have served. I thought this would have been a pretty popular spot.
Tom-1: Maybe not so much... but they sure did have alot of neat toys to do it with if they ever got out into the world to do it.
So why Mortarman, were you a shortfuse/downtown fan growing up? or were you thrust there?

Wasn't so much living the dream... more like drinking coffee and doing paperwork. Kinda like what I'm doing now with better benefits. Oh, well, you don't have to love your job... you do have to love what you do with your life.

Welcome aboard Mister Zoomie!
I know exactly what you mean... hating your job just makes the days longer.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner to this! I'm not tha used to Hisstank yet. X-D
NV143: I have to say I didn't have much of a choice in my mortar skill set. You see, I signed up as an 11X (Airborne) and with that, they can assign you 11B or 11C based on needs of the Army. I guess they needed more mortarmen when I signed up.
But I loved doing it, even though I seldom used my job in an aggresive capacity during deployments. For anyone who's deployed, you know it's more about patrols and maintaining a presence, not fire missions. XD

Tom-1,
I've been blessed enough to have always missed any trouble in my career. I always seem to be on watch on the other side of the ship anytime the Fit has hit the shan.
I'm glad you were able to serve and come home in one piece.
