Army, 4 Years
Enlisted after mom and dad divorced and money for college dried up. Ended up in communications (signal) and was posted to Kaiserlautern (Ktown) Germany. Ramstein AFB and Landsthul medical center are about 5 miles away. This is where a lot of the Irag and Afganistan wounded are treated before being shipped to the U.S.
I married my wife there and came home with my "schatzi" and 2 kids.
