Updating Vets roster

[Hobbit]

No change of Command. You earned being in the Air Force on your own. Now being a Combat Vet is another story.
What is your MOS?

My AFSC (as we do not have MOSs) was 1C131 for Air Traffic Control
and it was 2A53C if I'm not mistaken for Avionics

USAF 2000-04

In the Air Force we dont have MOS's we have AFSC's
I worked in Air Crew Life Support.

Actually didn't see this forum board until now.I usually dont speak much about my time in the service,but I'm sure in could dig my DD-214 up or snap a pic of some of my paperwork if need be to confirm.

I'm all about talking about my service. I know that some fucked up shit happened to some people when they served, but I got a good life out of it. I'm lucky to say I do not have PTSD, but I DO have a forever injury that will inhibit the use of my right arm for the rest of my life. My range of motion in my right shoulder is about 30% what it should be. I took the load of a 600lb box falling on me... tried to dodge it, but it crushed my shoulder instead.

ANYWAY... what base(s) were you stationed at?

For Air Traffic Control, I was at Columbus AFB, MS (pilot training base... #killmenow if you're ATC [500+ sorties daily]) and was at Offutt AFB, NE for Avionics working on the RC135 Rivet Joint

Hell yeah, brother. Thank you for all you did. What kind of injury, if you don't mind me asking? I've heard that infantry is the SHIT but only from people NOT in the infantry divisions... so word of mouth kind of deal. Friend of a friend or family member's family member... w/e

Hell yeah on the early promotion and the honor grad. The job I'm currently holding was pretty much a shoe-in based on a couple awards I won with the same title... love how that worked out.

I have spinal injuries, TBI, and PTSD with major depression and anxiety but the last part is about what every combat infantryman with a CIB is diagnosed with. I'm still on meds for my back and have memory trouble like Chong (his head injuries weren't IED inflicted but College Football which is serious hits as well).

Well I'm sorry to hear that. Depression and anxiety are no joke. Keep to your routine. Sounds like you've got a pretty good head on your shoulders (no pun intended). If you ever need an ear, let me know. I have a buddy that was a combat controller that has severe spinal injuries to the point that he's 30 years old and collecting full social security on top of his 100% disability... jump related injuries. I feel for you, buddy. Like I said... you need an ear, hit me up.

Where at in Georgia are you from shiv?

Augusta... Home of the Master's Golf Tourney

I've met a few celebs.... most that you'd think would be cool IRL are dicks... and most you'd think would be total douches are chill as fuck.

Ah, ok. I was born in Oklahoma but at 4 moved to Gwinnett County where I was raised until I left for Alaska in 2003. We lived about 10 minutes from the Mall of Georgia.

Gwinnett County... I hate the Atlanta area, though Macon is pretty nice. I hear most of Gwinnett County is pretty decent. Where I'm at, we're surrounded by shit schools, so if we move, we have to stay in the same county to be fair to our kids.
