So, I am asking, humbly, if you are part of our nations rich military heritage please post on this thread.

 I will suggest this: Branch, where you served, what you did

 Thank you.

I served in the Army during the Viet Nam era.  Was stationed in Korea.
Worked in Military Intelligence, mostly with intercepted enemy traffic.

Still serving working on my 27th year, Army and Air Force, enlisted and officer,  active and reserve, 8 deployments in almost every major operation since Desert Storm, jury is still out as to when I'll retire...

Did 6 years in the Navy, mostly westpac stuff.
Glad for people like Jay who make a career out of it, my military bearings started going out after 6 years.

Retired U.S. Army, served in Alaska 2X, Korea, Texas, SC, Fort Stewart.   I worked as a Motor Sergeant, Plt Sgt, 1SG, as well as a Recruiter

Retired Army Sergeant First Class here.  23 years active duty, 3.5 years reserve (1982-2008).  I did it backwards, my reserve time came first.  Desert Storm and Iraq vet.  Served in Korea (two tours), Central America, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Germany, Hungary, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.  

Since this being posted near Memorial Day, I'd like to remind everyone that Memorial Day is in remembrance of those Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and other service members who gave their lives, the ultimate sacrifice, in defense of freedom.  In September we celebrate Veteran's Day, when we give thanks to all Veterans.

I'm a bit late to this but I echo Les's sentiments.

As for me...I'm retired USAF with over 23 years service time, enlisted and officer side both. Started off as a Psychiatric Clinic Specialist for the first 8 years then spent the rest of the time as a medical administrator. Started that episode as a 2LT Medical Service Corps type and ended up as a Senior Staff Medical Administrator. Stationed in Texas, IL, CO, CA, Germany, Turkey, Philippines, and Japan over the years. During my flying years as a wing-level staff officer, Director of Operations, and interim commander for an air evac squadron I visited about every place in the world a plane can land. Loads of fun and loads of work. Even saw the elephant a couple of times. I'd do it again!

Since did some as a psychiatric clinic specialist, you are able to evaluate yourself?  And how did it turn out Ken?
