Military Roll Call: Where Did You Serve?

[Gatekeeper]

West Germany in the mid-1970s. ... OK, OK, I was only a military brat, and a young one at that. My late father served in some function or another in the U.S. Army in Berlin (and elsewhere in WG). I don't remember much from that time, but my mother's got stories up the ying-yang.

a total of around 500 days in the Swiss army - a little more than 100 days to go over the years until im 36 - I'm a lieutenant, regular compulsory serving time is 260 days until 32 (provided a vote in half a month gets approved, now it's still a little more and longer)

Close of base in Thailand, Udorn.

The working girls up there are still in mourning.

1981 - 87 Army Reserve, commissioned on Australia Day 1986.

Currently stand-by Reserve Officer, which means called up only for really big wars, not pissy little ones like Iraq.

Korea could do it

40 clicks from Ansbach

I hear this term on movies all the time and have never quite understood it. How far is a "click"?

I will probably serve in MI (got accepted)

But if they decide to leave me for some reason I will try to get my service postponed and study Software Engineering.

Then I can get anywhere from MI, to Air Force, to Navy, to Communications and Computing Core to whatever.
