Any snuffers out there who are fellow members of the military?
Not in a long while.
I would like to be in the US Army or Navy medical corps, one day.
No military experience. However, I am an Eagle Scout which I believe qualifies me for a slightly higher rank upon enlistment or draft. Bizarre…
Battery Sergeant Major, Field Artillery(Signals) here, too old for active reserve now.
navy reserve here. 14 years now. I was (am?) an Eagle Scout too, FWIW.
Air Force K-9 back in the day. Dual certified Patrol/Narcotic dogs most of the time. Far East and Central America/Nicuaraga and Panama. We did what we had to do. Wouldn’t do it again, wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Serving with the TA. Was in the regs (Coldstream Guards) but had to leave during my training due to problems at home. Plan on rejoining as an officer after college. Army No: 30032244 Serving with: In process of transfering to Honourable Artillery Company from 70 (Essex Yeomanry) Singals Squadron.
I did time in the army during 1963/64, anti-aircraft regiment in Cape Town. Then some short camps while on the reserve list for 10 years. I still have my battle dress, size 32 pants and 36 jacket. I’m now size 42 pants and 48 jacket. My army no was AT 26668 and my rifle’s no 4278, FN full automatic, 20 rounds.
I am going on my 15th year in the Army myself. Just finished my second tour in Iraq. It has been great but I will also be happy to retire in 5 more years and spend some more time with my family.
Been in the military since my 16th, could have retired last year but declined and wanted to stay until I’m 56. But with the way things are in the military at the moment (new governement, less money) I’m going to retire 1ste of Januari next year (I’ll be 52 then). Started with 1 year of service in Germany with the 1st Cavalry Hunters, then I was old enough to apply for the elite forces, got through training and loved the livestyle, always on the move, all over the world. Until during a mission I got seriously injured and had to move on. I then became a dog handler/trainer until now. btw snuff was something lots of guys used in the special forces as we where not allowed to smoke for obvious reasons during missions.
USMC, most of my time was spent with the Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Team (F.A.S.T. Co.), which is part of the Marine Corps Security force battalion.
I fly F-14 tomcats in the movies! they call me Iceman.
It has been a long time but I was Air Force for six years, and I have a son currently in Iraq in the US Army Infantry. Husband was also Air Force.
I worked on submarines in the 80’s.
I hunted submarines in the 90s! 
I always wondered how live on a submarine would be, we did training with the navy seals but where not allowed aboard of a submarine. Belgium only has a few mine hunting boats and one very old Russian submarine on display for the public. I suppose it takes a special kind of person to be able to live on board of a submarine, very stress resistant?
I am in the Navy 12 years now. Im an E-6 and getting out in November of this 2010. yep thats right I have no desire to retire from the military and am throwing it all away to become a cop in Los Angeles and I cannot wait until my time is up. Every since the military became a popularity contest with the politicians changing shit around they can keep it. Screw Obama. Women on Subs, Gays serving openly, Liberty buddies, hurting peoples feeling ect ect all I can say is FTN . Phew I feel a lot better thank you for this thread
And “politicians” are the people you serve and if you have a problem with that, you shouldn’t be in military.
I can see in some ways where he is coming from. I was in the Navy back in '84, and that was before it became so feminized. Now the men and women do boot camp together. Nothing against women, but the problem here, is that the women are right next to you, yet they do not have to do the same level as you, and it become more a co-ed social club. And subs are a small craft, and it’s just a fact, women and men together like that, can be a disruption. As far as gays, I don’t care, they never bothered me. But yeah, unless you agree to be disposable pawn for the government’s interests, you shouldn’t join or be in. I got out. Though I joined mainly to leave a bad homelife. I’m glad I did it, but wouldn’t do it again.
