Tell them that you're going to try for an assignment in Europe. We still keep a sizable force in Germany. I'm shooting to go to Europe or Afghanistan. I'm going to try and get into either Intelligence and learn another language, or into CID. I'm getting too old and tired to be out there chasing bad guys through the weeds. I'd rather just sit back on a hill and call in an airstrike. Actually I'm healthy enough to chase the bad guys through the weeds, I always just preferred sitting back and dusting them from a distance. I'm a firm believer in the Indiana Jones school of sword fighting. Long distance is a lot better than being there. Let'em run, they'll only die tired. Could be that the reason why I went into field artillery and MLRS. Hmmm 20 mile range and the ability to blanket large areas of terrain with cluster bombs. It really can be all good.

It's not going well. I did 10 years in the Army NG, Infantry Rifle squad leader, post-Vietnam. Later 4 years as an Officer in the USAR. But the problem was we never had a real mission. This is my last chance before I start to become an old man to have a real mission. I don't know if I'll be able to make my wife understand that notion, that sentiment. Yes there is the danger element but life is inherently dangerous and none of us will get off this planet alive... Good luck with your plans. America is fortunate to have those who are willing to serve. IMO those who volunteer to serve, especially in these times, represent the best America has.

I managed to get the problems with my physical cleared up with new blood tests this week, so I'll probably be going back into the Army in the next couple of months. With the new payscale, any college student without a hard science or engineering degree, should consider ROTC and a 4 yr tour. They can get their Master's paid for and after 3 years be making around $50k. That's not half bad. Even as an enlistee, a college grad starts at $20k with their student loans paid off in 3 years, their master's paid off for a four year enlistment and get a lot better benefits than the civilian market. How many companies give full benefits with 30 days of paid vacation a year? Hey Robert Good luck on that.

Good opportunity, great training available, would have to come in as Enlisted but could get into the Warrant Officer program. The big problem: They told me straight up as soon as I get trained and qualified, I'll get orders for 15 months in "the sandbox": Beautiful downtown Baghdad. Personally, I have no problem with it. Huaaaah! But it is a heck of a sales job I need to do to convince the wife and family that this is the right thing to do. I can't convince them that I would just be a rear-eschelon dude either. In this type of conflict, there really is no rear area. And the missions I would be on would take me out into the streets and homes and meeting the people on occasion. Very tough sales job....

My posts will not appear (for a week now). I have to use a proxy server in order to post. I emailed RV today about it; have I been banned?
