I'm wondering what are the most important and memorable events of persons military career. What are the events that everyone will remember?

- Enlisted/Commissioning dates?
- Deployment?
- ETS/EAS?
- Graduations (civilian or military schools)?
- Retirement?
- Promotions?
- Etc.

What are the events that are most memorable to you that only someone else in the military would understand? What are the events you remember year after year?

I'd say the day I entered the USAF in basic training was a good day for me. Pinning on SSgt was also a milestone as I crossed over to the NCO corps. Last milestone to date so far was the day I left Korea and be reunited with my family!

Far too many to mention. Let's just say that serving, in its entirety, was memorable. Well, at least to me. Apparently the Army didn't agree...

Very honorable thing to say Capt! Even in light of what the Army may have done or not done!

There are so many over 37 year period SSG Carlos Madden - Graduation from OCS, deployment OIF 05-07, and retirement are the best. There are many that are close seocnds, thirds, fourths, etc.
