I heard Bragg is nice.I was in Korea 1 yr than Panama(PARADISE) 2 years.Than I left.They tried to get me to re-enlist but I hated artillery,field,etc.
Army is different now.I think it was probably easier when I was in more free time overall calmer,easier since peace time and no threats to worry about.
Stay safe.

I did 4 years in paradise too! 89-93. Ft. Davis. Instructed at JOTB for a while... assisted in taking down Noriega in 89. And the Peacock bass fishing was insane! catchin big bass with a paperclip and a boot string wasnt too far fetched!

10 years.You were on your way to becoming a Lifer.What made you ETS after 10 years?
3 was plenty for me.I imagine you had a nice MOS unlike my lousy artillery.With a nice job its not bad but anything combat that requires field duty sucks.

When I hit the 10 year mark and it was Re-Up time, I was just recovering from a shitty parachute accident that compressed my L4 and buldged my L5 and broke my tailbone. I had been going in for weighted traction EOD for nearly a year. I was back to about 80%. I did alot of soul searching that final year and decided that me walking...possibly running and playing with my 2 children far outweighed my job as a Commo guy on an "A" team. I could have had surgery to fuse everything together but I declined the gracious offer! I started off a 72E (Signal...comm center type) then we were reclassed to 74C and I went to selection early 93 for 18E. Team life is/was super... but Clinton screwed all that up with the draw down of forces. His philosophy of "doing more with less" drove all the top dawgs out of the service because the same team members were deploying all the damn time... I was gone 10 months out of the freakin year! That can take a toll on the wife and kids... and I just didnt have the desire anymore. Sorry for the book fellas!

Oh you were gun ho.I never went to airborne school.I went to ROK(heehe that easy BS 1 week korean ranger school)Air assault at Ft Campbell,Than Jungle warfare school in Panama.
As you know these schools are geared so everybody passes them not the type of schools you have gone to.
I was into it at first than I grew to hate it. I saw that the military are the sons of the working class,poor maybe tops middle class.
The sons of the people who benefit the most from this country the Rich dont do a damn thing for this country.I began to see things differently and just waited for my time to get out.
When you start to think to much its time to get out.
