I've see a reenlist under water with U.S. Army Divers. I've reenlisted on top of my wrecker once and again in front of the Buffalo Soldiers statue on Fort Bliss. What are some of the most unique reenlistments that you have ever seen?

A group of us got to reenlist with the USAF Thunderbirds at Eglin AFB, Florida. They were on base for an air show and were doing publicity crap. There were a bunch of us so it wasn't overly personal as experiences go but still very memorable.

Perhaps common place for me to whitness, but airborne aboard a CH-47. We hook them up to the internal comms so they can recite the oath as we fly them around. Had the privilege to do two reenlistment flights in the last two weeks.

My first re-enlistment was in an Army UH-60 over Saudi Arabia. First time I ever flew in a helicopter. As a firefighter we did one in Iraq involving fure trucks and a huge pallet fire in the background. I like the star wars theme one.

My re-enlistment with the Golden Knights was pretty sweet. We did everything on the way up before we jumped out.

One of the MK3's in my unit took his re-enlistment oath wearing a "Gumby" during cold water survival training in the Hudson River in the middle of November. The MCBM was laughing his ass off giving the oath while the MK's teeth were chattering....
