Nah, failed the physical with my poor eyesight.

@Thevy29 Does it have to be 20/20?
Thevy29 · 41-45, M
@Catastrophe Can't see to far but its the Visual Snow Syndrome that ruined my night vision they were most concerned about.
Catastrophe · New
@Thevy29 Oh I see. Sounds like it's the best for you and everybody then. Must've been disappointing. You can help in other ways, I'm sure.

I am and was an Army brat.

After my father died, we found a paper in the very bottom of a drawer, buried rather well, that said he worked for U.S. Army Intelligence.

@4meAndyou

interrrresting! I'm so glad I 'met' you here!

@Catastrophe sometime, not today, you'll have to tell me all of YOUR " suspicious" stories. I have to go downstairs and clen the fridge right now before it gets too hot.
Catastrophe · New
@4meAndyou Beat the heat! I do that too. Yes, I have a lot of stories to share too. 🙃

Yes, I come from one and spent 27 years serving in the Army. No, I would not be a secret agent.
WillaKissing · 61-69, M
@Catastrophe Yes! Congrats!

Navy. Was on 2 sub tenders, AS-40 Frank Cable and AS-34 Canopus

@alongalone Thank you for your service.
I'm on a medication that's causing my hair to fall out at a ridiculous rate. When I wash my hair in the shower and then look at my hands, there are 2-3 dozen hairs on them. Hair all over the sink I have to keep cleaning. Hair in bed. On my clothes. It's annoying.

Oh sorry, did you ask a question?
Catastrophe · New
@SinlessOnslaught Damn... that is rough. Sorry for your hair loss.
@Catastrophe Thankfully it's not permanent, just annoying.

My dad was in the army and one of my grandfathers,my spouse was in the army, my niece in Marines and my nephew in air force
Catastrophe · New
@Justmeraeagain Very nice. Much respect.
HumanEarth · F
My entire family severed in the military, but I turned away from military service because of childhood epilepsy
Catastrophe · New
@HumanEarth Wow, nice. I have a long history... my mentors were war heroes. I know spies too. I know that sounds like bs but it isn't lol

technically my elderly friend's father was a spy at bletchley park... he grew up there but I think he is a spy also. My dad was one, I'm certain.

My father served in the US Navy in WWII. I served in the US Army. I'm not an agent, and I would only admit if I was if it wouldn't compromise my mission.
Catastrophe · New
@bowman81 The longer I live, the more I respect people like you and your father.
Not exactly. My father, uncles and grandfathers all served, but none were career military.
Catastrophe · New
@bijouxbroussard I really don't know all that much about military. I've just known many that served. What's the difference between serving and being career military? Was it conscription?
@Catastrophe Not necessarily. My father volunteered, but his younger brother was drafted. They both served and then went on to civilian careers.

The father of a good friend decided to stay in the military after his term of service (also voluntary, I’m told), and make it a career. My friend says they lived various places where he was stationed.

I'm doing reconnaissance for the alien takeover.

So far, I am not liking what I am seeing.
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
Both of my parents served in WW2. My father had really bad PTSD. I served on the USS LaSalle (AGF-3) and NAS Sigonella.

I kept my kids from joining.
Catastrophe · New
@Crazywaterspring Thank you. Yeah, I'm sure there are no words to describe how it consumes a person. I understand, but in a different way than you. My life is not my own, never has been.
LeGrotesque · 46-50, F
No thankfully
No, I personally do not, tho lots of people related to me, including my brother were/are.

No, not an agent and no, I wouldn’t tell if I was.

☆ My grandpa made a career of it as an ARMY officer. He served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He retired as a Brigadier General, but never served as one. They promoted him right before he retired. ..and he was in Military Intelligence O7

}}}} My dad did one hitch in the US AIRFORCE and a short tour in Vietnam E4

( > My uncle did one hitch in the US ARMY and a tour in Vietnam E4

{{{ ) I joined the US ARMY on a 2 year enlistment and reenlisted for 3, then was reactivated for the first Gulf War, promoted from E5 to E6 so they could stuff me into an E7 position legally.
Catastrophe · New
@Jayciedubb Wow, very impressive. There is a bond there that you can't explain... it's like no other, really. People don't get it and no I've never been in the Army but I'll just say, I've helped. Like a Dark zero thirty kinda deal.
Jayciedubb · 56-60, M
@Catastrophe zero dark 30. That's a fine time for an alert or a piss test 😁
