I've never asked this question, and I've never seen anyone else ask it, but I'm curious. What do you say when someone thanks you for your service?
My Military ID is right next to my driver's license and debit card in my wallet, so it's visible if I have to show my driver's license for something or if I'm taking my debit card out to use. Very often, someone who sees it will ask what branch I was in. Then they will thank me for my service. My usual answer is "Thank you for your support." But I'm curious about how others respond to that.

To Be PERFECTLY Honest, I LOVED My 4 Year Enlistment In The USAF.
And When Civilians Say "Thanks For Your Service"; I Tilt My Head In Recognition,
While Thinking To Myself: "If They ONLY Knew ~~ They'd Demand A Refund Of My Paychecks"
YES. I Loved It "THAT Much".
