Not doing any more Persian Excursions, so I'm great.
Gotta admit, though, I miss it a bit. Did the first one in November '79, and this would've been a nice end cap to it.

Quite a change from the "Nam" in 68 with the technologies, etc.
Pray the casualties are minimal and ends as quickly as possible.
At least there is no half-stepping or pulled punches in this one.
If my sister & I had each other's birthdays, I would've been there, I'm sure. As it was, I made it in three weeks before the "official" end. So yay, I'm a Chapter 34 kid.
Gotta agree about the technological advancements. Seems too easy nowadays. I started wholly analog and retired mid-transition to digital warfare. Almost seems like an embedded cheat code.
If it can get done with no boots on the ground let it happen.
I could go on and on about my war but there's no need, it's over.
Besides it just pisses me off and I need to keep that to a minimum.
Thanks for your long service to the country.
Me 3 years, 3 months & 16 days.
Likewise, shipmate. 20 years, 4 months, and 17 days, but who's counting, right?

Where did you serve mostly? I have fond memories of many visits to CFB Esquimalt, including being hit on by the silver foxes at the Canadian Legion in Vic.

Army as a soldier - 3 years
Army as a civilian - 32 years
It's taken care of my family, so no complaints here.
