Hello all!
Occasionally found myself lurking some of the threads here, so I figured I may as well join up. Don't have the largest wealth of experience but definitely willing to contribute in any meaningful way I can.
Spent a few years active army as a 13F with the 173rd and (unfortunately) the 82nd Airborne, went to the 'stan with each unit. Got out while the gettin' was good in '12 and settled my first divorce. Then I went to school for mechanical engineering for a few years and ended up just becoming a 911 dispatcher. Started missing the military and ended up in group with the army guard as a 13F. Turns out I liked it more than I'd thought.
It's been a bit of a culture shock. Leadership really cares about your personal and family well-being. The school and training opportunities have been great, especially the tactics exchanges and HAVE ACE. I even enjoyed an NTC rotation (weird, right?). I do miss being on the line though, so I'm heavily entertaining the idea of going to one of our training teams, or switching blue to TACP or CCT.
Thanks for having me
