    I've known other branch of service that did similar things. I do not envy anyone that served in the DC area unless they really like it. I would rather serve 20 years in BFE [:p].

But my pop is one of a dying breed.HE's 83 now, and joined the "Army Air Corps" in 1943, at the tender age of 19.Served in the "CBI" Campaign,as a cargo plane wrench for the entire mission. Got discharged, and immediately went to work for the Navy, civil service,and worked for them until retiring in 1980.37 years.

    Or worse, four years in upper michigan in the frozen trunda, feezing my butt off waiting for the phone to ring so I could scramble some ADC fighters. The call never came, I was bored to death.[;)]

    The definition of a veteran:

    A veteran, whether active duty, retired, National Guard, or Reserve,
    is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check, made for the amount of "Up to and Including My Life."




    I would only add,

    "and then honored the commitment."

    Article VI

    I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

    What about the guys who spent 20 years in the guards to get out
    of the draft ( back when we had a draft.) I for one do not consider
    them to be veterans in any way shape or form. And tell them so whenever i hear one bragging about his many years of service.
    (They are nothing more then draft dodgers in my opinion.)

    U.S ARMY 6 years and proud of it.

    They still wrote the blank check.

    Zulu, I know you know that that's just a cover story. They got to give the Anti-Zombie squad some busy work since zombie outbreaks aren't that frequent thanks to Bush's diligence.

    That is outstanding! I love it. Do you happen to know the source (if not you)?
