Wow, not a lot of lifers huh? lol
Use to joke around with some of the guys when I was in that were Warrant Officers or E-9s about how long they were in by asking them if they first qualified with a musket or were they still using bows and arrows when they came in? lol. Or, my personal favorite were the Navy Guys we'd be out with and asking them if they crewed Noah's Ark. haha. Love the lifers have a lot of respect for those guys, because I know the toll it takes on your family.
