Military Poll: How many "G.I." Fanatics are out there? (Breakdown by Branch/Service)

I used to be in JROTC? Does that count? I was a cadet PFC

USN, Active, on shore duty working with the Coasties up in Coast Guard Island Alameda, CA, coming up on 7 years in 5 days.

But, with that said i will let it be, and i want to acknowledge all those that never made it back. You may be gone .. but not forgotten. RIP Brothers.

A bit slow on the uptake I see. I recommend one of the mottos’ from those you say to have supported. "Special Operations: The Quiet Professionals" and STFU.

Oh yes; and welcome back.

I went to USAFA for a little bit, then got out. I'm thinking about joining up through OTS next year, though I probably won't get a spot in pilot training anymore.

I currently serve with many Canadian forces in the GWOT and have attended their ramp ceremonies, like they attend ours.

Not going to beat a dead horse but...okay I am, seriously just because it's available publically doesn't mean you should make it easier for everyone to find.

And BTW, put your chin-strap on John Wayne.

Nervous and excited both, I'm ready to close this chapter and move on to the next one.

What's a Navy guy doing at Alameda? Are you at MLCPAC or ISC? I'm ex-squid (82-86) and the switch to the CG was a blessing in disguise, indeed. Night and day between the two sea-going services; same customs and traditions, but that's where it ends. I hope you're enjoying your stint with us "Puddle Pirates".

with ISC/Pi Pacarea. I'm wondering what i'm doing here myself. There's a SMALL Navy Command up here working with the coasties. There's only 6 Navy E-6 and below and 1 OIC. It's not a bad command but I miss San Diego.

4 years USAF, PJ recycle

4 years US Army working with the Americas Army development team.

Currently struggling to make ends meet as a database manager at a bankrupt Delphi in Michigan! Yay, my experience is really paying off! =)

No matter, all time I wouldn't trade for the world.

US Army, 7 years going on 20+. Iraq is my 2nd home. =)

Considering this has nothing to do with paintballing .. but ok. If you're talking about how my trigger hand is holding the weapon, i'm just loosely holding the grip and i don't shoot like this and the sling is pretty tight on my body since it's adjustable.


ahh, started jumping again. Nothing quite like it, and nothing quite like landing ha. It will be nice to get rid of the T10-D 'chutes, and get the T11. Falling at a rate of 18ft/second is alot better then 22 ft/second, not to mention the opening shock isn't as bad, and landing should be alot better.
