When / where did you serve?

[DMark]

Early on, along with several thousand of my airborne battle buddies, I did a few Forced Entries that everyone agreed were Combat Deployments. Between those had a couple of trips of an "Expeditionary" nature.

Later, as I was about to retire was informed that my most recent "visits" were not "Kinetic in Action" - - - I was a Former Participant in current & ongoing Overseas Contingency Operations.

Not Kinetic in Action? Reckon I was carrying all that 5.56 for nothing!

1956 I signed/via mother for three years in the Army while still 16, a month before my 17th birthday. The recruiter said I should take the GED before I went in but you had to be 17 so he made a "mistake" by a month signing me up for the tests that made me 17 already and I took the tests while still 16 and on my real 17 birthday I was sworn in.

Served May 56 to Jan 57 at Ft Ord, CA, 10th Div,
Jan 57 to mid 58 Bamberg Germany, 10th Div, Neat trip to Germany as loaded ship in Montery Ca, Traveled down coast of Ca and Mexico and through the Panama Cannal and on to Germany. About 17 days on ship.
