US Army 1985-1987 (active duty) 1987-1989 (reserves)
Fort Jackson, SC for basic training
Fort Gordon, GA, for AIT (72E combat telecommunications center specialist - already obsolete before I even finished training)
HHC AVN BDE, 101st ABN DIV (Air Assault), Ft Campbell, KY
Air Assault qualified and ended up being a jack-of-all-trades in the commo platoon - did some "wire dog" work, but mostly worked a RATT Rig. Learned to drive a stick shift on an M151A1 and one of my regrets was never driving a Humvee (they arrived as I was ETSing out). Honorably discharged as a SP4.
Saddest of all - joined the Army to "see the world" and got stationed in my home state. haha Went to PLDC in May 1989 (again, at Ft Jackson) and probably learned more in those weeks than in the previous several years.
