Former US Army Medic; Now a USN Corpsman. Ive been Navy for the last eight years, assigned to the Marine Corps. I am in the Reserves now, and I still love the job. Ive been to Iraq, Germany, Ireland, Ukraine, and hopefully will have plenty more adventures before they kick me out for being too old to sail many years from now.

I have made many mistakes in my life. Joining the Navy was not one of them.

Well, I just got my DD-214 in the mail today.

Probably time to drop the Active Duty badge and get the Vet badge.

Mad broken time: was in from 2000-2004 as an infantry Marine with 2/8 for Kosovo and Iraq, got out, got (way too much) education, got bored, went back in as a reservist with 1/25 for a stint in Afghanistan. Back out now.
