THANK YOU, SSG Robert Spina. ALL SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF THEIR SERVICE.
Thanks for taking the left wingers into consideration for us....so that we don't take their responses personally.

I usually say something along the lines of "in the Air Force". And the comments are usually, "what do you fly"

Depending on the person, I tell them, "I pilot the MHU-83"

Usually when my husband and I are together he starts the topic and tells whom ever we are talking to that I served in the Army too. But because I am a female they usually ignore me and think I am just his spouse. When I tell people myself that I served they don't believe me.

Being as I still serve most of the questions I get after telling people is, "What's your job?" Then once they find out I am weather it's usually followed up with, "Oh cool, what's the weather going to be like at [Insert Location] this weekend?"

Respectfully, I couldn't care less what the weather will be like there this weekend. I ain't at work so I ain't going to forecast for you.

LOL, SrA Matthew Knight.
You become the WEATHER??? :)
And no, SrA Matthew Knight, you are not at work then, so you do not have to "forecast for [them]". ;)
