When was your best "And there I was moment?" Please add rank, year, age and AOR to your reply. No other details please, in deference to OPSEC. Limit your reply as you see fit. Anytime in your service history applies. References do not need to be combat related. My two contributions are: One: 2LT, 1988, 24, Korea and, Two: MAJ, 2004, 40, Iraq. Now it's your turn.
