Hello fellow veterans. I served in the regular army for 6 years then joined the national guard for combined 21 years of service.

How many other vets out there?

Anyone interested in starting a veterans for the legalization of marijuana organization?

I joined the National Guard to keep from getting drafted after dropping out of college. Hated it! After about 3 years I went ahead and went active to get it over with. Stayed in country the whole time. Basic and AIT at Ord and the last 18 months at Carson. I was lucky to have such good duty posts. First and only time I ever worked for the Gov't.....biggest waste of man power and $$$ I have ever seen.

Yep...served with the 3/505 Airborne Infantry at Ft. Bragg for 4 years. Sure wish I woulda had better sense and gone into a field that actually translates into a civi job once you get out. Did the 5k$ enlistment bonus for Airborne Infantry with no GI Bill (if I woulda had the sense to go to College my parents would have gladly paid but I was too fuckin hard headed for that)...live and learn LOL. MGG

I joined in 79 after the draft ended. However, I failed to register for Selective Service and joined the army as a paratrooper. While serving as a paratrooper in Alaska I get a really nasty letter from Selective Service saying I failed to register and could be fined, imprisoned and barred from federal employment. I took the letter to my 1SG who snatched it from my hand and told me to get the hell out of his office. I never heard back from Selective Service and never registered.

I joined in 97 voluntarily .....it was good for me...got me out of the hell I was livin in at the time and taught me discipline....respect ...and integrity.....but....paid a hefty price for those valuable lessons

A few years ago we had a thread for veterans that lead me to find my old high school friends. I'm trying to find it, cat named Lazarus I believe started it. We've had vets come and go here, totally understandable, but it'd be nice to keep a gathering place for all of you.

For the last 4 years or so we have brought veggie starts down to the fly shop/bar where for some reason several vets, mostly Viet era gather for a Sunday drinking session.
We bring down around 50 to 75 starts, this year lot of different varieties of tomatoes.
One fella is in rough shape, walks with a cane, hunched over, struggling health wise no doubt.
He has told me he also has PTSD and sometimes he thinks he should end it all.
Today he told me that last year those tomatoes saved him as he was having a breakdown and was contemplating but those tomatoes needed watering so fuck that shit he said.
I hope this helps the other fellas, they will definitely take em and plant them...
