    I did a year of Army ROTC at UF, until they wanted me to wake up at 5:30am for PT. Works great when living on base, but living in a dorm at a state public university, not so well. Let's just say I missed a few of those....

    Of course, now I work for the DoD on an Army base and have to wake up at 5:30am to get to work by 7. Karma, I guess.

    5 Years active duty, 6 years in the Army National Guard
    Medically retired after an explosion in Iraq in 2005

    *I was at FOB Warrior in Kirkuk, Iraq around the same time as NorCal! I was Army though so when I was on the FOB, I was on the "dark side" of the FOB. However, whenever we had down time we spent a lot of time at the Clamtina drinking slushies and enjoying the rowdy bingo games the Air Force sponsored!

    You must have been with all the MP's at good old Camp Renegade.

    I used to love the internet cafe on the dark, the Army never put up any filters like we did so you could surf whatever you wanted. Plus that mural the Hawaii Army Guard painted on HQ was really impressive. One of my biggest regrets was that I never got a picture of it.

    I joined the Army in 2004 as a 25F, but I reclassed to 25N in 2007. I was stationed in Fort Lewis, Washington from 2005-2010, and I have been on recruiting duty outside of Fort Hood since July of 2010 (Hate it).

    I deployed to Iraq in 2005-2006 to Anaconda for the first 8 months and then we were moved to Baghdad for the big surge, fun times.

    I was on FOB Warrior like a couple of you guys that posted on here, and I have very fond memories of the Clamtina and salsa night twice a week lol. I lived on the light side, but my Node Center was on the dark side directly next to the big track. I would occasionally go to the internet cafe, but I had internet at my desk so I wouldn't go very often!
