Marine Corps 08-12 stationed on Camp Pendleton Ca the whole time. Didn't get to Afghanistan though my wife did (she was a marine also) while I was on my booze cruise which ended up being more of a float on the water for 130 straight days with no comms in or out for E-6 and below.... But got stop in East Timor for a few days to help build some schools and other stuff, went to Thailand, 10 days in Djibouti Africa and on to Malaysia. Because my wife and I ended up with the same MOS we ended up hitting the fleet at the same time in the same company and they sent immediately to a different unit. Spent 2 years and the West Pac cruise there and then ended up being a driver for a colonel which was cool at first but sucked at the same time... Not a real exciting tour of duty for me but I am alive! Haha!
