I am a "Gulf war era" Vet. I was in Army from 1985-1991. I was definitely POG (person other than Grunt). I was in the rear with the gear, REMF = rear echelon mother fucker. I joined the service specifically for an electrons education, and I got it.

Has everyone forgot "The Panamanian War of 1989"? So I was in service for that too. I never shot a bullet in anger, was never sent to "the sandbox". I did my time, and got out. Anyone asks me about my service, they usually say "were you over there?" I say Oh Hell no, I was lucky, didn't have to go. And that usually ends the conversation. I did 3 years Nurnberg, WEST Germany, then 2 years Fort Polk, LA.

Ah, Fort Puke. What a wonderful place. Such kind and generous locals too.
