fatbass Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Army Reservist for 11 years. Deployed: Guatemala, Korea, and Iraq. Rather carry a fishing pole than a M16 any day. Fished a pond at Saddam's palace in Tikrit, Iraq. Used corn from the chow hall. Caught some little ones that looked like carp. It was different. Waitin to go back, hope not though. Quote

GeneinTX Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 I retired from the Army with 21 years in October 05. I was a Sergeant First Class and a M11A2 tanker. I still work with the military as a contractor. I bought my boat as my retirement present. I did enjoy my career but I am glad to be onto something else. I highly recommend a stint in any branch of the sevice. Quote

Activy army 62-67 with a tour of Korea and Vietnam thrown in for good measure. A tour of duty would do some a lot of good. Quote
michbass Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 Hi, Followed family orders and went though ROTC program ended up in the PSYOP program. I am now in the Reserves and back home attending school/working and hoping to finally start a family. I am scared as hell about getting re-deployed though. Pray for our friends, family members and soldiers that they will return safely. May God watch over them. Quote

Stationed in Panama for 3 years. Had to fish for Peacock bass on days off in Gatun Lake. Poor me!!! My 19 year old son who wants to be a game Warden just signed up for 4 yrs in the Air Force last week. Hope he enjoys the military as much as I. Also hope he gets stationed near bass waters so I can go visit often. Quote
