If you are retired, state which branch you retired from.
If you work as a civilian, state which branch.
If you are Guard, state which state you are a member of.

I have no branch. My brother in law was in the Air Force. That's as close as I get.

I would like to thank all of you that chose to join up and serve. It really takes a special kind of person to enter that type of job/life.
Thanks!

Sorry Bill, but the poll was already getting too big for answers. So I wasn't able to include Brats.

I couldn't get Military Contractors in there either.

If we're going to include family history, Dad was U.S. Army. 2nd Rangers WWII was his first tour. Oldest brother; 101st LRRP (received Ranger Tab in VN jungle, '68. So I'm considered 3rd gen Ranger. Oh yeah, mom?... WWII w/ OSS in London.

Currently, my nephew / godson is a U.S. Naval Aviator. He is flying the E2C Hawkeye out of NAS Norfolk w/ the "Screwtops". He finished first in his class, in both OCS & Naval Aviation training and that was the A/C he chose.
