Awesome karma. Please count me in. I was in USAF 86 to 90.

Please count me in on this generous karma. My brother has been serving in the Navy since 2004 as a quartermaster, currently stationed in Jacksonville. He’s hoping to retire at the ripe old age of 38 in 3.5 years. Thanks for the chance and thank you to all who have served and are currently serving.

I’m with some of the others on my qualification to enter into this karma. USMC 87-92.

But depending on when this ends, I have a son headed to boys camp at Parris Island on a reconnaissance contract.

Myself with active duty 1968-1977 (Viet Nam era), wife active duty Army 8 1/2 yrs active duty, Rode honor guard escort (Patriot Guard) 2006 - 2016 for veterans funerals and other veterans escorts flying a 3ft x 5ft flag off rear of bike and it waved proudly. ................................................. drill sgt.

I would like a chance please! Thank you!

Spent a year running convoy ops during OIF right around the time of the “surge” in troops.

Also, thank you to all who served!

Please add me.
I have a nephew in the Army.
His team made a parachute jump somewhere in Montana. The wind came up and he ended on the roof of the local Walmart instead of the drop zone.
The manager let him off the roof and, according to him, you should have seen the look on people's faces as he walked through the store to the front door. All with his full combat gear on.....

Please include me in this USAF 2001-2006, pics to follow.

Now that I moved to a free state, you bet your ditty bag this ex-sailor would like in on this karma.

I'm not one to tell sea stories but here's a couple:

One Christmas in port, I decorated myself with red and yellow tags from my head to my knees. The red tags were lock out tags, I forget what the yellow tags were for. Me and a couple of other sailors went throughout our engineroom to the different spaces and greeted people Merry Christmas.

We had a small Puerto Rican guy who went out on liberty call to get a tattoo. His name was Herb and he wanted a tattoo on his shoulder that said, "Herb Superb." It was suppose to be a double meaning as well. In the morning, he found out his tattoo said, "Herb Supeb." One thing about him though, as small as he was, he wanted to go to SEAL training. He would do runs with his full backpack filled with sand. Our Chief finally sent him off to SEAL training.

Thank you for the very kind karma.
USCG 1997-2001

Please add me to the running. Thank you for another generous karma!

USAF 1966-1970

Assigned to Bien Hoa AB, Vietnam 1969-1970.

Please add me (for my stepdaughter). She was just stating that since moving here to the Great State of Arizona from New Jersey, that she needs an AR. She is USAF 2005-2014. She is a smaller woman, and worked as a turbine engine mechanic. I just recently found out that she has worked on the engine for the A-10. I thought that was pretty cool.

Awesome karma Q. I served in the USAF/MiANG and the US Navy Ready Reserve. Don't include me in the karma though. If my number pops up, re spin so someone else gets a chance.

Thanks to 12131 for the generous karma and to all of you for sharing stories and memories of service, past and present. I’ve asked for 12131’s permission in supplying 100 rounds to the karma winner and he has graciously accepted; best of luck to all.

Awesome karma! Please count me in for my oldest daughter, whom I had the privilege of commissioning into the Army as a 2LT last week. She starts her first day of active duty today as cadre at Fort Knox for cadet training before going to Fort Sam Houston for her BOLC in a few months. I'm such a proud Dad!

Amazing karma for Memorial Day honoring our veterans !

Please include me. I was Coast Guard 1975-1979, my dad Navy on a heavy cruiser in the South Pacific during WW2, my uncle Army in North Africa during WW2.

My daughter worked for years on building our family tree back to the year 1540 (yes, 1540 ... not a typo) on my father's side. As a result, both of my daughters are members of the "Daughters of the American Revolution".

We come from a long line of veterans.

Thank you again for this opportunity and remembrance on this Memorial Day.
