Am I the only one who wasn't in the military? (I applied, but the Army didn't want people after civilian university then...)

Been almost two years since enlisting in the Army Reserves, and hopefully many more years to come. If anything these forums are an inspiration to many young modelers.

IC1, USN 15 years, 6 months, 9 days. Disabled, service connected.
(I wish I could still move like that)
Times flying by so fast it seems like yesterday but already 20 years gone, 20 years in Feb anyway. Been modeling since I was 9, on and off. I think I made the Titanic at least 8 times and the Blue Devil just as many.
Thanks to everyone who served and especially to those currently serving!
