14 year in the Royal navy, 1965 -79. Seen active service in two so called 'Security operations' (along with the ship). Fortunately I was never involved in a real war.

I så fald er "Marinekorpset" nu nedlagt. Alt forsvar af Bornholm er overgået til Hjemmeværnet:)

Den eneste Hærenhed på Bornholm er SPJESK/III/GHR, der er kronisk udstationeret til enten Bosnien, Kosovo eller Afghanistan.

TO THE REST; SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION, JUST A BIT OF INTERSERVICE RIVALRY, REGULAR PROGRAMMING SCHEDULE WILL RECOMMENCE:D

British Army, 25 years in total, enlisted "The Queen's Own Hussars" March 73, retired from the Royal Corps of Signals in July 1998 with one other capbadge during that time. Crewman on Chieftains (Mks 2 and 3) and Centurion (Mk 9) as operator / loader / driver and then Electronics Technician (Radio) until becoming a Computer Specialist.
It certainly beat working for a living!

It seems like many of you guys have a "little" bit longer army career than I have:D
Looks like a 2/3 of players have done military service and some guys will do it in future, and that's great thing. I think that "ArmyTime" was very fun and interesting.
