Hi everyone,

Thought it might be interesting for all the military vets on our site to mention when and where they served, what branch and unit they were in, and where they live now. Anyone interested, please feel free to add your info, and thanks for your service.

Sincerely,
RJ Bailey

[82Vettrin]

22yrs,9 mos US Army Reserve, enlisted March 1976, retired Dec 1998.
unit enlisted-into and served-out of, 728th Engr Det, Bardstown, KY.
unit was chartered in 1963, and recently disbanded. I was the only member ever to enlist as a PV1 and retire from the same unit. (E6).
63N MOS, (Heavy Equipment Operator)
additional duties included Section Sergeant, Motor Sergeant, Reenlistment NCO.
our unit (thru the years) had the distinction of making 6 training tours overseas:
Germany 4 times; Egypt 2.
prior to the recent occurrences in the world, Reservists were known as "weekend warriors". today, without the dedication of the "citizen soldier", our forces would be severely hindered.
here's to all Military : (hand-salute) ! :thumbsup:
