If you serve/served in the military, where have you traveled? This Bud's for you...

[BBUK_anon]

My stops were; Ft. Leonardwood, MO, Goodfellow AFB, TX, Ft. Huachuca, AZ, Weisbaden, Germany, and Ft. Bragg, NC (That was four years of service. I know some who retired may not have room or the memory to list all the places. I'd like to hear about them though. Your service means/ meant something.)(Have been many other places since but those were my military stops.)

I thought it interesting to learn about those of you who served. (Not trying to slight those who did not.) Some of you took your families with you. It is to say the least an adventure, it is to say the worst a hard life of servitude and commitment to something other than yourself.

This Bud's for you...the former and current members of the Military...

Cool deal, I was on that deployment also. I'm pretty sure I was on the Ponce and the Wasp was the big deck on the amphib side (all the deployments kinda fade together after all this time). Good times though

I can’t remember the other amphib ships, seems like the Wasp is right. I do remember The USS Washington being next to us off Omaha beach, with Clinton onboard. Seems like they stole some Towels or something.
