Enjoying life now that I am retired. Gotta say though, I LOVED almost every day I served on Active Duty. Yes, even the ones where we were recalled at o-dark thirty, and had to sit in a Mobility line doing a bag-drag for hours and doing nothing else, only then to be told we were released to go home, or in some cases, to work. I miss it ALL!
I had the most FUN as a Weapons Loader, or Load Toad. But the most rewarding job was as a Command Post Controller. Recruiting? Forget it.
