Military Members?
I am in the Navy and fly the P-3C Orion. I was just thinking about it and was wondering who else on the board is/was military and what they do/did.

Retired Air Force E-8 (SMSgt), retired last July w/22.5 years. Was an electical power production guy and aircraft arresting systems (hated the Navy for trashing my barriers w/Tomcats and Hornets...) Later on evolved into the the typical SNCO duties of the ever important paperwork at the super level. Now work for Corps of Engineers as a GS-11 in Aviano, Italy where I have retired to.
