Anyone one out there either active/guard/reserve/retired/ETSd combat(or not) veteran?

I was in Baghdad for 13 Months with a specialized brigade under 1st Cavalry Division. Active 4 years. I've been out for a few years now tho.

One of the longtime forum members FTPhantom is a vet and I think he's currently in Iraq as he only gets to post here when he comes home between tours.

U.S.S. Enterprise, ugh. I did a 6 month deployment on that ship in 2003. Worst carrier I was ever on.

I was "Deputy Fire Marshall" onboard in 1982/'83. It was "skate duty". One of the best assignments I had in eight years. Just curious, What department/division were you in?

I was in a squdron. VF-211. We deployed around August of 2003 for 6 months. I worked the flight deck night shift as a troubleshooter. To me, the flight deck was the best place to be. Lots of action and it made time go by fast.

Deepest respect and admiration to anyone who has served our country, combat vet or not, but especially to combat vets!

All I can really say besides that is that I am glad you are all here and still posting. I can't imagine ever doing what you all have done.

Well, we appreciate you for being a loyal foot affiliate. What are the chances of you posting a picture here for us? Maybe some patriotic red, white, blue nail polish or something like that? [Thumbs Up]

Good idea, I was thinking more of maybe something with me in some military style clothing?
