I noticed this section was empty, so I just thought I would ask if we have any veterans or active service here.
I was US Army, 1967-1970

Basic training at Fort Gordon, Georgia
AIT at Fort Lee, Virginia

Posted to Fort Carson, Colorado to the 46th Field Artillery in summer 1968

Volunteered for Vietnam summer of 1969. One winter in Colorado was enough for this Florida boy.
Sent to the 75th Support Battalion, 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized). The Brigade was on loan to the Marines and operated with them along the DMZ, from Khe Sanh to the South China Sea.

Tough duty gig you pulled over there, but thank you for doing it.

I was Regular Army for ten years in the 80's and 90's.
