Wow. Happy Veterans Day to you guys. I saw a sign at a body shop that I liked. It was one of those reader boards that you can put what you want on it. It said "America, Land Of The Free Because Of The Brave. Happy Veterans Day". Thanks for doing what you guys do, thats for sure.

USN
1993-1997
Parachute Rigger ... I figured if I ever screwed up, the guy wasn't going to come back and complain about it to me

To all the vets, particulary those that served in a war (especially Veitnam as those guys were treated so unfairly not only by having to be over there and not really supported by our government as they should have been, but also as they were treated soooooo unfairly upon their return to the States) a big thank you!

 

DAMN riggers! hehehe

Well I dont feel like a veteren but I still qualify for the benifits

11H/11B- Infantry, 82nd airborne division D co 3/325AIR
Joined in 2000, got out in 2002, goin back in in 2004

We are all 11B now thank god

not all riggers are bad

 

Project84: sweet pic! Got any other cool ones?

Happy Veterans Day y'all!

 

These are all from a photo gallery on the Air Combat Command web site.

 

Thank you guys for serving!

 

USN/Aviation Electrician

Didn't they ever make you jump your own rig?

 

Don't they have any Bubble Chasers? (11C)

Make sure you volunteer for Ranger School ASAP. I mean it, get your Ranger Packet together. Got to have that tab.

 

....still wearing my poppy.

Thanks to all who've served.

 

It's so wierd. When I joined the Canadian Forces, people would make fun of me when I was out in my uniform and MacLean's magazine seemed to have a new "why our military is a pack of mysogynist psychos" story (and I emphisize story, versus fact-based report).

At least now the media is discussing how grossly underfunded the CF is, and all the taken-out-of-context horror stories have stopped.

I know the majority of this thread is about Veteran's Day, therefore the American Forces, but for the reast of the world and especially the Commonwealth, Rememberance Day carries as much if not more meaning and it's nice to see soldiers of all nations, for a few days per year at least, receive thank-yous from their fellow citizens who benifit each and every day from the work of those currently serving and all those who have served before.

 

Thanks for serving our country and maintaining my freedoms as an American.

 

From WWI on, we Americans have fought along side many nations. Veterans day, though an American holiday, is a day to remember all those brave enough to fight and make sacrifices so that others may live free. All sacrificed some, some sacrificed all. Those people, there love for freedom, and their sacrifice must never be forgotten, regardless of whether they were French, British, Canadian, American, or what ever nationality they were, freedom was intended for all, and Veterans day should be a day to remember them all.

 

Yeah, but my point was in the Commonwealth it's recognised as Rememberance Day, as stated in the full text you quoted a piece from

The manner in which it is recognised is also quite different. Where American television is full of "Crazy Pete's Veteran's day washing machine Sale" ads, Rememberance day is a somber event.

 

Yeah they still got 11C. Its all 11C and 11B

Yeah I wanted to go when I first joined, and even after i was in for a while, but then something else came along that really peaked my interest: scouts (infantry). Unfortunatly they were not looking for someone of my expertise, or rank for that matter.

but im no longer in
I got a chapter 14-12b

But its okay, goin back in in 2004.

CANT KEEP ME OUT!!!


you should see my field records, impressive
