Anyone In the military? If so what branch? How do u like it? What's your MOS?

I recently enlisted in the U.S. ARMY (Reserve) as an MP in the 320th MP company out of st.pete ( a few of my buddies are in the same unit)

Im really looking forward to it, Im scheduled to leave Nov. 1st to Ft.leonard wood missouri for basic and AIT. Im most likely leaving next march to IRAQ which im also pretty excited about.

WhiMP What can't you spell whimp without?

5 years in the active Army (Airborne Infantry out of Ft Bragg) was good enough for me, although I miss it greatly. Just with todays politically run military I couldn't stand it.

Heard your unit is leaving for Iraq sometime soon, like December or so. Good luck.

i did a tour in the coast guard. i was stationed on a 110' island class cutter in key west, fl. it was by far the best job of my life. if i wasn't so old and wasn't married, i'd go back.
