Where did you enter the military?

I joined in Little Rock Arkansas, December 10, 2011. Tomorrow will mark my 3 year anniversary. Joining the military has made me more responsible, a harder worker and a better person. I am currently in ROTC pursuing my Masters Degree and will more then likely commission active duty.

I enlisted in the Navy back in September 1990 at Naval Station Subic Bay in the Philippines. This was when the Status Of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between the U.S. and the Philippines was still in effect. The Navy promised to show me the world and exotic places, but whenever I asked for Rota Spain, I always end up in far more exotic places like Oakland, CA, Orlando, FL and San Diego, CA. I asked for a tour in Europe but got sent the other way in Okinawa. On my 11th year in service, I got picked up for an AF commission. I asked to be deployed several times but I was told engineers can't do research work in theater...unless it has to do with high velocity copper-clad lead poisoning. I retired in 2012 from the COMSEC community and now working as an Army civilian....to date, I have not been to the exotic places that were promised when I enlisted.

SGM (Join to see), I was commissioned at the U.S.S. Constitution in Boston, graduating from Northeastern University!  Then off to Fort Benning, Georgia!
