    Same, gave me some experience and set me on my career path.

    Did my 4 years on bases with no flight lines (Like being in the navy and never stepping foot on a ship, lol) and only deployed to humanitarian missions even though the first gulf war was going on.

    Still keep in touch with people i worked/lived with all those years ago.

    Different world now and am glad my children didnt have to make that decision.
