Eccie members that have served in the military

I find it incredibly fascinating those that have served are all democrats. That's something to think about. Maybe you all really are right. Originally Posted by LovingKayla

I will say though that the older I get, the more socially liberal I become, but the more fiscal conservative i become.

U.S. Army.

US Navy here. Stationed overseas. Served during Operation Enduring Freedom & Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Served during peacetime. Thanks to all the vets and especially the ones who served during wars. As a nation we can not thank you enough, God bless every one of you!!!

8 month Med-Cruise on USS Iwo Jima LPH-2

Those were four of the best......and......worst years of my life!

US Navy Submarines from 1993 to 2011

US Navy. 1980-1984. Republican leaning toward Libertarian.

U.S.S. Tarawa LHA-1 Semper Fi, jarheads!
U.S.S. America CVA-66 "We did the Ditch, Bitch!"
U.S.S. Mckee AS-41 The "Love Boat's" Sister ship.

based on my handle, you might have guessed I served but only lightly

A DMG 1972 I had one weeks vacation before I reported to Officer's Basic to do my 90 days in Indianapolis. Vietnam was over and there were way too many 2nd Lt's so I came back and joined a local reserve unit

however, being a Distinguished Military Grad, I was offered a West Point equivalent commission; however, my now ex did not want to see the world. To this day I wonder what if. I could have been along side Collin Powell who also was a DMG

Well, I wasn't quite so noble. I will admitt to this day that when I got my draft notice, they took me "kicking and screaming'. If I would have had a choice, I doubt I would have went.

But like thousands, I went. And if you think about it, we "draftees" are a dying breed. I will be 66 soon, the draft ended about 5-6 years after I was inducted, (or "abducted"), so one day we will read a headline that says, "last draftee dies".

I hope it's me.

Army 1976-1984, Navy 1984-1994, Desert Shield/Storm, Restore Hope
