25 years active duty U.S. Navy. I grew up listening to my dad talk about his time un the Navy, 1958-1962. I also loved anything aviation so I decided to combine the 2.

Thank you for the chance Q.

I'm in please, and thank you very much.
Both my Dad and I were U.S.Navy. Nothing special about my service, but my Dad watched the signing of the peace treaty with Japan at the end of WWII.

Thank you again for the awesome Military Appreciation Karma.

My grandfather served in the Pacific during WWII
My father was a Combat Engineer during Korea.
I have 2 nephews currently in the Navy, a Lt. Commander and a Commander, my son is a Captain, Company Commander with the 11th Artic Airborne Division.

I served in the US Army 10th SFG(A).

I was there when my son finished Ranger School and also pinned his wings on him when he finished Airborne School. I also gave him his first NCO salute when he was commissioned.

He recently told me one of his goals is to surpass my parachute jumps. He has a ways to go as I had 121 jumps from various aircraft. We jumped more in an SF unit than the average airborne unit does.

In for the generous karma.

USAF 1998-2013

I'd still be serving in that capacity if I could. Instead, I've moved on to other means of service in the civilian world.

Thanks for doing this.

Not in, was on the non military side of the spook house.

But I wanted to address that this site has the greatest people on the planet, thank you Para.

The level of generosity, knowledge, and caring can't be ever forgotten.

Q, you are an amazing man, and I am so grateful to have interacted with you and to see you show us how to be better.

Dad served in the Army during WWII. He hiked across Europe all the way to Berlin. My F-I-L Was a pilot in the Army Air Forces. He completed his training right around the end of the war, so he never flew in combat. My B-I-L served two tours in the Marines during the Vietnam War repairing helicopters. I'd be honored to be included in this most generous karma.

I'll go in on this.

My squad lead in Korea in ~2004/2005 taught me my most valuable life lesson:

"It's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission."

Has served me extremely well since then.
