Just posted my intro thread in the big forum, but I saw this subforum while I was lurking around and I think it's cool as shit that the powers that be see fit to give us our own place.
I got out a little over a year ago... airborne Infantry, spent most of my time in Weapons Squad and took a couple trips to Asscrackistan. Then when draw-downs, Big-Army stupidity and budget cuts started seeping into our unit I felt my usefulness had worn out, and decided to get out and bide my time until we go to war again. If (when) we do, I always figured I'd re-up, but with the new directive from the top regarding women and combat roles I'm leaning strongly towards the private sector/contracting.
Anyway... hello all, I'm glad to be here.
