Are you married, kids, ect. We want details! You don't have to be in Iraq to serve so let us know where you are and whats going on. What are your duties, dislikes, good times, stuff like that.

Thank you in advance for your service to our country.

What about those who have loved one's stationed somewhere. For example, my husband is currently in the Navy and is stationed in Iraq and has been since the beginning of August. In November he will be moved to Saudi Arabia.

Thanks guys for keeping my country, my state, my county, my city, and my home safe and sound!

Without those who volunteer to serve their country and back up what they talk about by serving in the Armed forces this country would not exist!

Again Thank you, Godbless and Gods speed in your safe return from wherever your next assignment may be!!!

Ahhhh .... you don't have to thank any of us for doing what we do. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't the right thing to do. I am very proud of everyone who is on the Tip of the Spear, taking the war to the bad guys and putting warheads on foreheads.

As for me .... the signature says a lot. Navy for almost 19 years, Chief Petty Officer.
I have a lovely wife of almost 20 years, 4 kids (3 boys, 1 girl) from 4 to 17 years old.
They are back in the states and I am here supporting Navy SEALs.

I've been in the Army for a little over 4 years and have around 20 left. I've done 4 tours overseas (2 Iraq and 2 Afghanistan) while I was enlisted. Got married to the most understanding woman sometime between those deployments. Now I am Warrant Officer in flight school at Ft. Rucker, AL.

I was on Guam for 2 weeks when I was a USN destroyer skimmer. Not bad duty!

I didn't know the CG leaves the main land! (Kidding) It always cracked me up that Alaska was considered over seas duty to the CG when I was in the Navy. That was a long time ago, we used sails.

What do you do in the CG?

Oh MAN! You got the world by the tail! Get all the free training you can man. The cost of fuel would keep you grounded in civy land. YIKES!

I'm a 3 year private pilot with about 1,350 hours already. Mostly in ultralights, and single engine experimental.

Thanks!

I'm in the U.S.Coast Guard, stationed aboard Coast Guard Cutter Hudson out of Miami Beach, Fl. Cutter Hudson is a 160 ft inland water construction tender. We build fixed aids to navigation in the intercoastal waterway from Melbourne, Fl. down to Key West and the Dry Tortugas, Fl. We just returned from a 43 day deployment to Louisanna, Miss. and Alabama for a Hurricane Katrina relief effort to help open the waterways in the area. We have an American Aero 70ft. boom crane with a Pileco piledriver attached to it. We use 35 to 60ft piles and drive them into the mud and leave 10 to 15ft of the pile above the water line and then bolt a red triangle or a green square to the pile to mark the channel. I've been in the USCG for 13 yrs and am a Damage Controlman. I do like my job in the CG, but Miami will be in my rearview mirror in June of 06'. Miami is just NOT my kind of city.
