If it wasn't for my family:
1. I would have never joined
2. I would have never stayed in
3. I would have never been promoted
4. I wouldn't be working so hard to get promoted now.
5. I wouldn't be fighting to stay in.
1+2+3+4+5 = Happiness and Fulfillment
Families are so important to every soldier. So of course any member of a Military Family is welcomed here.

Everyone in my generation served in the military, police, & fire fighters...must be an Irish thing????? But the young folks today aren't too interested in those occupations. I was surprised how few are in the ROTC at Boston College and Northeastern University that has combined Military teachers.. I think the total from both schools is only 20 this year. It was 20 times that number when I was a student at BC..

Is that you & your Dad in that photo...looks like he was in the Marines about the same time as I was '50s - '60s...I can't make out his ribbons but looks like he was a Sergeant E-4 with his ribbons from Korea but I'm not too sure because the photos is a little blurry...Hell I may have known this guy ..?? Do you want to post his name. Although at my advanced years I can remember faces but NOT names anymore which is very worrisome.

He is much better now but he did try suicide twice...I have been witness to his flashbacks...and I would NEVER wish upon anyone the things I heard and seen during those times. He has aged now and is much better. He has a few battle buddies to help that out. And yes you are correct, his main objective was marksmanship...you understand my lingo..lol..
It broke me in two when I heard him scream "my baby" while crawling over the top of his hosp bed ..thinking he was diving into a manhole. He adopted a baby in vietnam...he was sending the little girl home to us, but as he put her in the helicopter and turned to walk off..as the helicopter lifted, it was blown up..No survivors..so yes...he suffers still just he has learned not to hide in himself anymore.

I myself was a military brat that later served so I understand your affinity for the military community. Your perspective and experiences are always welcomed on Rallypoint (RP). As a civilian you will not be able to participate in some of the discussions or view profiles however I'm sure many here would like to hear what you have to offer. Welcome to Rallypoint.

You being family to a veteran is an asset to the military community. I welcome you and your input to Rally Point.

Absolutely! If it wasn't for our families we wouldn't have been able to do what we did.

I wondered the same thing. I am trying to find information on a new command that we will be stationed at, but I am not the servicemember in our family.
