OK, I thought this might give an idea of how many service members we have at a glance as well as which branch members served in.

Poll coming soon. You can choose multiple branches.

Cruisin' the Wild Blue Yonder!

Actually I preferred rootin around in the weeds and fighting just above the ground as fast as I could make the plane go. Nothing meaner than an F-4E coming around the corner with four Sparrows, four Sidewinders and 650 rounds of 20mm HEI!

I have a contract with the Navy. Been waiting way too long to ship out, since March.

My brother did about 4 years in the Army, 2 trips to Iraq.
