I said it at the start of this thread, but reading up I want to say it again . . . thank you ALL for your service. I don't care what branch you served in, I don't care what job you did. You served your country. That's the reason this award was created in the first place. From someone who wanted to serve, thank you.

Only just joined your fine clan establishment, just saw the thread and thought I'd pop in to say you've accepted a future Brish Army officer. I've got a place in Britains premier military academy Welbec; www.dsfc.ac.uk, then after that its off to Uni/Sandhurst in time for tea, crumpets and medals :)

Great to see this clan has brave men and ladies from all over the globe.
 
Never noticed this thread but while we're at it, just thought id say im in the RAF and been in it for about a year of training and planning to go into an Avionics engineering i think and get a grant to either Cambridge or somewhere nice hopefully, where i can extend my full potential to serve my country :)
 
Thats really cool Uka, I was looking at becoming an Avionics Technician with REME, however I figuired that demolitions with Royal Engineers was far more fun :P
I wish you all the best mate, it's a damn hard field to specialise in, but it's surely very rewarding.

Lol you too man, been looking at planes since i was 14 and was in CCF so had my job set for a while... Although i cannot say demolition doesnt sound interesting :p
 
I was once a sub-contractor for a Navy hospital, but I bet that doesn't count.

I kept wanting to be a sub-contractor for a submarine. I could've eaten sub sandwiches while sub-contracting on a submarine.

Nobody would oblige me though.
 
2+ Years @ NMC San Diego, spent most of my summers working for the physical therapy department, and I also worked at MCAS Miramar for 6 months.
 
Nice to see all you military- Well guys and gals I'm the guy that searches for missing airmen and aircraft lost at sea.

God Bless y'all & keep yer head down, fly below the radar............

My Panties are in a BUNCH! I am currently serving in the Coast Guard and have been before most of you guys have been alive 8D (24.1yrs)

Before the Gulf War, the Coast Guard was seeing more action than the Marines. We live in areas that we have to carry concealed weapons because people want to kill us. I was stationed in a place that the Mexican Cartel was giving $5K for our heads. Ask any Marine who they trust getting them into battle! The Navy also wants our help in war.

Just a little rant from an E-7 Active Duty Coastie. I respect all branches of the military and all other departments that help defend their neighbors, communities, and their country.

Ok, off my soap box.

Currently qualified on the following Fire Arms:

9mm
40
45
Riot Shotgun
M16
50Cal
 
Veteran

Spent some time on Active Duty and Reserve with the US Army since 1982. Currently I am with a MP Guard Company. Most recent deployment was OIF 07-08.

Thank You to all of you who have put service to country before service to self.

I think this counts

I ran black ops in Nam
I came back and was stationed as a MP in Panama
I was one language requirement away from being a green berets
I keep a loaded gun in every room of my house
(Oh wait... all of that is my father-in-law. You guys should give me a little credit for dating and marring his daughter though!) ;)

On a more serious note I couldn't join the service due to health conditions, but I am a Mechanical Engineer for Caterpillar Inc. and I have worked on 21+ military design contracts for our machines. A few of these have been :

? Airborne Scraper and Water Distributor System (ASWDS) ? Scrapers and water distributors modified to be airlifted on a variety of aircraft for the U. S. Army
? Wheel Loaders ? Cat 924G and 966H wheel loaders with military modifications for building roads and airfields, which are designed with split cabs for lowered height during transportation
? Iraqi Ministries Civilian Vehicle Support (IMVCS) ? Forklifts, pipelayers, motor graders, track-type tractors and tire drum rollers for the reconstruction program in Iraq
? Mineclearing/Armor Protection (MCAP) ? Kits to protect operators and sensitive machine components on Cat D7G track-type tractors
? Deployable Universal Combat Earthmover (DEUCE) ? High-speed dozer supplied to the U. S. Army with rubber belted undercarriage for off-road mobility and flotation
? CS-433C and CS563D Vibratory Rollers ? Air-deployable rollers modified to meet military specifications

I am currently working on designs for three military variations of our current products to meet transportation and other requirements set forth by our armed forces and am very proud to be doing my part to keep our men and women in the fields as safe as possible while performing their duties. I am also involved in R&D for other cab related protection devices I can't mention for obvious reasons that should gaurentee our combat engineers will make it home the same way they left, as long as they are in our machines.

Our machines empower Armed Forces/Law Enforcement
 
I would like to thank all the military personnel for all they do for us. I work with all branches over here in Iraq and they have impressed me with their willingness to do whatever it takes keep people safe over here.
