2 years in the army infantry and 10 years in the air force as a security police officer. :thumbsup: :redthumb:

 

nearly 4 years active duty (1968-71), US Army, infantry and intelligence mos. Plus 4 years ROTC (Penn State) and 2 years reserves. But it was my grandfather and father that got me interested in guns and hunting. My dad also was an FBI Agent, and every day he strapped on a revolver and went to work--so I was raised around guns. He also loved history and got me interested in it. Most of my reading material is history.

Does 22 years as a Navy Officers' Brat count for anything? Trained by my father in weapons and outdoor camps.

Two years indentured servitude in Army.The side trip to sunny Southeast Asia really added to the experience. :curse:

 

[Walker357]

Hey Oldmaster, I can relate to that. Sounds like the same privilege I had. Started out at Cam Rahn Bay with 150 feet of white sand beach front. After 2 months went north to the Qhinon valley. Things deteriorated rapidly after that.
Wouldn't trade the experience for nothing. Ha :no:
