First of all, Thank you all for your service to all those who had served.

I too am one of those. I spent my carrer in the USAF, although we were considered the weekend warriors (ANG) Air National Guard. For those of you who may not know, you are basically on call 24/7/365, you are state activated and can go anywhere the military goes. I was an AGE Mechanic, so shout out to fellow AGE Ranger. I was with the 180th Fighter Wing, Toldeo OH for some 22 years when I finaly retired, could not take the military/civillian lifestyle any more with all the deployments to the sandbox.. it gets old leaving your family and full time civillian jobs behind. I would not have traded my time for anything. I had worked with and met with a great bunch of guys.

Go DINSTAAR! AGE Ranger

Nothing but respect for the Reserve Components - particularly senior leaders. I don't know how the Company Commanders\1SGs do it. The ridiculous amount of work we have on the active duty side, but transferred to being on top of a regular job... Oof.

We do it all at home late into the night after we get off work . The tax payer gets WAY more than their money's worth as very little of that time is ever paid.

US Army
SPC(P) E-4
2006-2012
91B(63B when I initially enlisted) Light Wheel Vehicle Mechanic then changed my MOS to 27D Paralegal Specialist
Served with the 2nd Brigade 1st Infantry Division in Iraq from 2008-2009

For my Grandfather's (Navy and Air Force) and my brother's (both Army) who served before me and my little brother currently serving in the Army, respect and appreciation to all members of the armed forces both past and present.

Also, from a veterans point of view, thank you to everyone who supports us. Every time I have someone say to me "Thank you for your service," I always reply "Thank you for your support." Knowing that a total stranger appreciates the sacrifices we make means a lot. To me, it means more than any medal, coin, or certificate I received while I served.
