Hi Raynor, I joined the army since I didn't want to join the navy, air force, or marines. If you mean why did I join the military, I've been thinking about that for awhile, not too sure I have the complete answer. But it wasn't for the patriotic reasons most give like serving their country etc. I think I needed to get away from my family and the familiar setting of the house, and try to be myself or something along those lines. Like I said in an earlier post infantry was not really my choice, I wanted to be in the engineers since they get to blow things up, and build bridges and things like that. At least that's what I thought back then in my somewhat naive mind.
Hi Raynor, here's a picture of a special ops team I was with during the national guard. The team was involved in the drug war in the early 90's after Desert Storm. I'm on the far riight closest to the cockpit, the guy on my immediate right is our team medic. He was great, one tiime a guy on our team fell when we were climbing a cliff in the early morning hours, and Doc got him stabilized until we could get him to the top and medevaced out. It took us several hours, but he was ok, paralyzed temporarily for a few days but he returned to missions. Please be careful, people like you who become medics etc. are the healers of the world. And the world we live in needs healers a lot more than it need fighters.
