Boilermaker69
Loc: Chicago, Illinois
US Army 1969-72. Rank at discharge was Spec5 (E5). Enlisted for OCS after graduating from Purdue in '69 but was among the many who were caught up in the Army's wind down from Viet Nam and the reduced need for new officers. Spent the majority of my service time in First Cavalry Div. at Fort (former name) Hood, Texas. After discharge, went back to Purdue for MS degree on GI Bill, which I am thankful for.

USAF 1981-1987 E-3 to O-3. I enlisted despite having a B.Sc. for a specific job. There was no draft then, but I was taught that all men should serve sometime. I resigned to see whether I could support my family as a civilian. Had I stayed in, I probably would be living a more adventurous life with a FF MILC instead of a crop DSLR.
