Has anyone ever served in the military?

My name was spelled wrong in the army newsletter when they published the decorated soldiers list..





I heard about it for the rest of my service.

What were you decorated for?

It's the allure of the gun...

Traffic cops sitting in the office taking calls...are allowed to have guns? ac_umm

Traffic cops don't sit in offices. The clue is in the name.



All operational police officers carry a firearm when on duty in public areas.

I would think traffic police are rarely in offices.

Traffic police can be in the office.





Never assume without knowing all the details.

Never wanted to do military service. I don't do well with orders.

I didn't have a choice.

Nor did I.  Rather than take my chances with the 2-year draft, I elected to enlist for 3 years and served in Army aviation, mostly as a helicopter crew chief.

...huhwell there ya go...always thought you were a yank.

Indeed, I am a Yank.  The US doesn't have compulsory service now, but it used to.

I served in the Military in my dreams. When I was actively exploring how I can join, I was too late. I was too old.
