    Military People!

    Hey guys and girls, Just curious what all military people we have in here. Just a little about myself, I've been in the Marine Corps for 6 years now. I've been stationed in NC pretty much the entire time on Camp Lejeune. I've been to quite a few different countries including kenya,libya, Dubai, Bahrain, Djibouti and a few other places in the Med. Is there anyone else out there that has been to cool places or done some fun missions you can talk about??
    Thanks

    I have 7 years in the Army. First duty station was Schofield Barracks, Hawaii while there I deployed to Iraq for 15 months 07-09. As a 92A I really didn't have a job so I ended up as a Gunner. After I PCS'd to Bamberg, Germany, and now I am at Joint Base Lewis-McChord getting ready toe medically retire. I ma not have been to as many places as everyone else but I did meet a lot of people, run into old faces, and have a ton of fun. Going to miss it.
    If you're are not going to stand behind the soldiers, feel free to stand in front of them.

    I did 5 in the Corps. "A" school was in Pensacola, Florida; from there went to Cherry Point, then back home to Miramar. Ended up deploying on the Nimitz, we participated in OIF, OEF, then ran a few other small ops. We were the first Nuclear Carrier to Port in India, they brought their Govt officials on board it was a big publicity thing. We also hit Singapore, Hong Kong, Guam and of course Hawaii on the way home. Med Sept'd as a Sgt.

    My first tour was Navy. I spent 4 years in Sicily. My second hitch was in the USMC. I spent time in Okinawa, Cherry Point Search and Rescue, and at New River. I retired from active duty in 2010, and currently work at Cherry Point for a DoD Contractor. My combat deployments include Desert Shield/Storm, and OIF, with some humanitarian deployments to East Timor and the Phillipines.

    I'm not military, I'm a military spouse. My husband was in the Army for 4 years, spent a year in Iraq. He's now National Guard.
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

    I was stationed at Camp Lejeune from 2008-2013. Been to Iraq and Afghanistan, and am now living in Virginia, about 5,000 miles away from home for me (Hawaii).

    The moment I saw Morehead City, I figured he was probably from Cherry Point haha.

    I'm working on a Snake Tracker App! If you have any ideas or suggestions on features, feel free to post them in the Development Thread! I'll also be posting updates on the development of this program in this thread!
