When I enlisted in the U.S.Army on July 10,1972,I swore an oath to defend the Constitution,Not a political agenda, as have thousands before me.When I was Honorably Discharged on June 30th, 1976, nobody at Ft.Dix, told me to forget about the oath I had taken.
I am not as young and more beat up, but, I have not fulfilled my oath, I am ready if needed.

Welcome Patrick,
I was Navy and am not familiar with the MOS short hand that the Army and Marine Corps has adopted recently [like back in the 70's] so I don't know what your designations are when you folks identify yourselves with the letters and numbers of your MOS and units.

I was a BT [Boilerman] Seaman [E-3] on Tin Cans. '66-'69
None the less I would like to let you know that some of us are probably a little more "not as young and more beat up" than it appears from our testimonials. :grin:
Being an Honorable person knows no age limit that I can discern.
Young, old, in between .... being Faithful to our Oath is the only requirement.
Be Welcome and Thank You for your Service.
