Hooray! Thank you for the opportunity!

Both my pics and my stories are boring. That's the AF life. Being a member of SAC did not allow me to have the cool deployments or duty stations of TAC personnel.

VERY generous of you! Please add my name,

USMC 1986-1994

Would love a chance at another of your most generous Karma’s.

My father served aboard the USS New Jersey BB-62. One Uncle who served in Europe during WWII and a second who served in the Pacific theatre.

Please add me. I have a nephew who is still active.

Thanks!

Please add me. Father WW II fought in Normandy and Belgium. Battle of the Bulge survivor. Uncle fought in Italy. World War II as well.

Please include me in yet another awesome karma. My father served in the navy in between WW2 and Korea. Thanks for the chance at this generous gesture. The date code puts it in the same range as the guns I transitioned to from a revolver back in 1994 which is kind of neat.

Thanks for the chance.
U.S.Navy retired.
My Dad is also a Navy Vet.

Q, please count me in. My brother will hit 15 years in the Navy on November 1st of this year. Thanks for the chance at another generous karma.

Thank you for another most generous karma! I served in the artillery in VN, 68-69.

My daughter is now full time Army NG, and she would love it! Please include me.

Q,

I qualify, but please don't include me, as I've already won a P228 from you.

I just want to take a moment and express my appreciation for your outstanding generosity on SIGforum. The kindness you display is a thing of wonder and legend here. I will always remember the great things you do for deserving ones.

On top of that, your posts are entertaining and spot on. Your contributions to discussion are always fun and informative.

Thank you for making SIGforum more of a family than just a forum.

Thanks

Father was in the Navy, was one of many when a atom bomb was tested in the South Pacific, grandfather went to the border with Pershing’s Punitive Expedition against Pancho Villa, he was on a train bound for New York to go overseas when the armistice was signed. He eventually attained the rank of lieutenant, I have his visor hat. And I just recently found out about a great great grandfather on my father’s side who served in Company B of the Indiana Volunteer Infantry of the Union Army during the Civil War.

Thanks for the chance!

USME 1960 to 64

Thank you for the awesome karma. The P228 is on my list of "must have" SIGs.

I am Active Duty Air Force...until 31 Oct. Effective 1 November I will be retired with 25 years of service. I've had multiple deployments to Bosnia (96,99), Iraq (03,04), and Afghanistan (08,09,15,16). I've deployed with 1 CAV, 10 MTN, 1 INF, 1 MEF, and Special Forces.

Thanks so much for the chance

Thanks for the chance Q.
USN 1985-1999

Wonderful karma.

My grandfather was a WWII US Navy vet. He served in the North Atlantic. He left my grandmother & 2 children (my father & aunt - other aunt was born after the war). He would never discuss life at sea (he worked on the boilers); he would only talk about life on base.

The story of his that I remember the most is he remembered the cooks carrying a large pot of hot dogs & spilled them on the floor. He said after that, he ate elsewhere for about a month, but then decided to eat at the mess hall & send the money home.

He had a weird, but great, sense of humor that I unfortunately inherited. I still miss him.

Thank you, I'm in!

Was US Army 1991 - 1995

Even though I had a 98 out of 100 ASVAB score and could have been anything I wanted as far as available MOS's, I chose to be a 94B Foodservice Specialist, aka "Cook" as I had always wanted to be a chef someday. Well, I loved it and worked my ass off and did very well at it. My Soldiers always ate very well in our Dining Facility!

Got out after 4 years and went right to the Culinary Institute of America which has been described as "The West Point for Chefs", which wasn't too far off the mark as when I got there, it was still pretty strict and regimented and I'd joke with people that it was like being in the Army again, just with different uniforms!
