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.

An engineer and tanker once downed a gallon can

The tanker took three drinks he died his face was turning green
The engineer kept drinking it was only gasoline.
