    I spent some time in the Marines. Most in Far East, some in SWA and Africa. Sometimes fun, met some good folks, met some who weren't. Got to travel a bit, not first class, and not always nice places.

    I was in the Alabama National Guard from 82 to 86. I was a 12 Bravo combat engineer and spent time in Guatemala and Mexico. My specialty was Bailey bridges. I was on demolitions and it was my job to rig the bridge for demolition if need be. Even though that was what I trained for, I actually spent more time on heavy equipment building roads.

    I'm an Aussie Ex-Serviceman but can still honour your vet's.
    I was in 'Nam in 1968 and fought in the Battle of Coral & Balmoral, Australia's biggest battle of the war. I was an Artilleryman. I was gun no.2 on an 105 Howitzer. Was also a volunteer. I didn't get drafted as you call it over there. Down here it was conscription. Proud of my little effort.

    I served in the US Navy from 1971-73 as a boiler technician. I was assigned to a destroyer (USS Warrington DD-843) and a heavy cruiser (USS Newport News CA-148). I was aboard the Warrington when it went over two American mines in 1972 during the Vietnam War and had to be removed from service and scrapped as a result of the damage. The Warrington was the single most expensive weapon lost during the entire Vietnam War. I was also aboard the Newport News when one of its forward 8 inch gun mounts suffered an internal explosion killing 21 sailors.

    The most enjoyable cruise I participated in was the North Atlantic (England, Denmark, Holland, Norway and Sweden etc.) cruise during the fall of 1973.

    As a result of my service time, I do not remember my high school days/friends as vividly as my service time aboard both two ships and my fellow shipmates especially those that made the ultimate sacrifice. Memorial day is more than a holiday once a year.
