Which branch of the Military are you or were you in, and did you join because of GI Joe?

Ex-Naval Aviation here, and yes, GI Joe helped to make the choice to enlist. If I had to do it all again, the only thing I'd do differently is 20 instead of 8 years. That way I'd have gotten the military retirement.

G.I. Joe did have some influence on me to join. I'm serving in the Army as an Infantry Soldier.

I always had an interest in the military as a kid and GIJoe was a big part of it. After high school I had no money for school and I was wanting to enlist anyway. I did 4 years in the Army, 13B Field Artillery.

Marines....maybe sub consciously...and I was always into military movies growing up. When I was younger my dad broke things down in a manner that I could understand them and told me Apocalypse Now was the G.I. Joe movie. When he said that the Colonel was raiding the beach and I thought it was Wild Bill hahahahahhaha. Good times.

GI Joe was a major factor in my desire to join the military. However, it was my highschool girlfriend that talked me out of it.
I do not have many regrets in life, but I do regret not joining at that time.

Never joined the military but I'm a contracting officer for Dept. of Navy and love it.
I've always been very into the military and I'm sure Joe played a part. |
