Served a term in the Marines as a grunt.  I didn't scale mountains with my bare hands like the commercials and I wasn't a drill expert but it was one of the best experiences of my life and I got to meet a lot of great life-long friends, all of whom are willing to die for country and/or each other.

A very long, long time ago I served in the US Army.  How long you say?  Well, to give you an idea, in basic training I was issued the venerable M1 Garand, that massive (damn that thing was heavy) but a true battle rifle.  It would be an honor to own one today.

Never served.  Richard M. Nixon stopped the draft in 1972 about a month or two before my draft lotto number (112) would have come up. I was on the bubble, so to speak.  About a third of the guys I graduated high school with and started college with were not so lucky.  And I mean no disrespect here, perhaps "lucky" is the wrong word if it implies that military service is a bad thing.  But it was pure chance -- no deferments in those years.  I have often wondered how my life would have turned out differently had I spent 4 years in the service of the military.
