I did 6 in the USN (Gator Navy)
Got discharged en route to deliver 3400 Marines to Saudi Arabia.
I liked the traveling, but not the way they run things. I learned alot about good and bad leadership there.

As a young pup, I "managed" to spend some time in the warm and friendly climes of Vietnam. I "liked" my first tour (1967) so much; that I went back for two more (1968 and 1969).
I had a GRAND time - save for all the death, devastation and destruction. You know?
Nothing like peeling your brother's brain off of your face... or getting shot at by AA and nearly bleeding to death ....
... I guess.
For those of you wondering: I'm being facetious. Vietnam was neither a joke nor a cakewalk....
Would love to have you guys on my flank any given day of the week... especially when the chips are down!

You really don;t get to pick where they send you. I was a 19d cav scout so we wound up in the thick of the fight almost everytime. I have to agree with the vietnam guy, combat is nothing that anyone WISHES they went in for. It's scarry as shit and is pretty tough to see a fellow brother get shot right next to you and have HIS blood on YOUR dcu/acu.

....and after sweeping for mines in the Gulf of Mexico (USNR), it too was sunk according to navsource.org
They're all gone now. I'm not sad but not happy.
OK I am happy
