If you have any questions, although im not a genius on army stuff yet ill
try to answer them, helping out the others if i can in anyway.
lets try this for a question:
What is your favorite memory/the best thing that happened to you while in
military service?
for those of you not serving, the best thing involving any military force in
any way.
