I never knew. Thank you Sir
Thanks Bender!...yeah...spent 11 years in US Navy Reserves as a Counter-Terrorism Intel Officer and a couple years active.....spent some time in the Special Operations Community as an Intel Officer...9/11 hits and good old Uncle Sam finds he has a shortage of....yup, you guessed it.....Counter-Terrorism Intel Officers with Spec Op's experience....go figure. So got called up for a year.....home for 3 months, then called for another year....came home and then called up for some more time (shorter tours) here and there...finally decided enough was enough after missing years with the little one's....got divorced, resigned my Commission, and pressed on.
Would I do it all over again?...hell yeah. Do I miss it?...hell yeah.
Seems there are alot of us on here....as well as LE. All varying campaigns, branches of service, specializations, and Agencies. No matter what branch, what MOS, what campaign, what Agency...my hat is always off to those who served/serve and to their families who also endured....
