How many of you have been or are in the military?

I have 12 years in the USMC. Current MOS 8411 Recruiter had much "cooler" jobs but I'm way too old now and the body hurts way too much.

Hooah, lieutenant in the Army. Currently at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. Going back to my unit after I finish my course out here in two and a half weeks.

At least the CG does real, useful work. Going to war sucks but even in a war most people in the 4 "real" branches don't see combat. So what exactly does "military" mean to those who choose to not include certain branches? Someone who did nothing but train and paint rocks for 4 years > a CG rescue swimmer or an Air Force test pilot?

Be 150 miles off shore in 30 foot seas, knowing the only way your are getting home is with the coasties, then make dispariging remarks.
