I really enjoyed fishing in the creeks,lake and ocean while there. Never caught anything really big but was something to do.

I never caught anything of size in the lakes, but the streams, one in particular, held very nice dolly varden. The creek ran under the tundra. You had to pull back the grass and drop your lure in the water.
The saltwater fishing was great. I never hooked into any big halibut (my PB there was only 60 lbs.), but I witnessed a lot of fish between 100 - 200 lbs. True doormats. I even caught halibut fishing off the piers.
Of course you also had the pink, red and silver salmon. A lot of good memories from that tour!

Back then even if we had internet. We would have no time to look at it except on the week ends and that would depend on if we had no guard duty. We were still training for Vietnam. Half of are 11B that didn't go Air born and Ranger school went OJT Vietnam. My MOS was air defence so I went to Bliss and then Germany.

I know during D-Day they built artificial harbors that allowed for supply transport during and in the days after the operation. These “harbors” were actually pontoon causeways. The 25th Naval Construction Regiment were charged with not only building and maintaining these causeways, but also ensuring safe landing and operability of equipment on the sandy beaches.

BREAKING NEWS
brother separated at birth reunited due to Father's military service
Senko lover reply :
Any of ya'll got any advice/thoughts for a young guy looking at military? Been thinking about a reserve career for a while, and more recently have been considering the ROTC program to help me get through college. Obviously I have other reasons for signing up, but the tuition assistance is big since college costs so dang much $$ these days. I love PT and do boot camp style workouts all the time with my workout group. The physical aspect will be enjoyable. The aspect that seems the most unattractive to me is authority; I'm a disciplined and motivated person but very independent. That's not to say I'm a teenage jerk who has no respect for authority - I've been working a job since I was 14 - but I am more of an independent type. Not a problem for my regular employment but I'm the type who doesn't like stupid orders so I could see myself getting in trouble 
. Also, the commitment for ROTC seems like a long time if I end up not feeling like military is the right direction for me.
Just my honest thoughts, I would love to serve my country and do more for a job than sit behind a desk, but do have some hesitations about the decision.
riverbasser reply :
Really a decision only you can make @Senko loverlover
For me I didn't have many options and the national guard really jump started my life. Gave me a job skill and something to put on a resume. I didn't take advantage of the full time college but did take an online course and they paid the bill in full. I also recieved a VA home loan which helped me buy my first house. I've done some pretty cool disaster relief but went inactive just before my unit got called to deploy so never been overseas. The military isn't for everybody and most will agree that it comes with its share of BS but it also gives many benefits. It all depends on what you have in mind for yourself. Do your research and decide if its for you. The biggest advice I can give is if you do decide to join, try your best to get a sign on bonus and be weary of recruiters. I missed out on 20 grand because my recruiter pushed me through in a big hurry looking out for himself.
Good luck with whatever you decide and if you have any more questions about the national guard feel free to message me.
CybrSlydr reply :
Here's a post I made on another forum to someone who asked a similar question to you. I'm just cpy/pasting the entire thing.
QuoteLike you, I decided in HS I wanted to join the Military. I'd known for a long time that I wanted to join the Military. My mom's dad was in the Air Force in Korea and my dad's dad was in the Army in the Pacific in WWII. I wanted the Air Force because I wanted to fly F-16s (my favorite plane). So, I needed a degree and went the ROTC route at Kent State. Well, turns out I was too immature - I was great in ROTC but lacked the motivation to actually attend my other classes and flunked out after 2 semesters. Was a great ROTC Cadet though.
At this point I thought about doing OCS as I was going to DeVry in Columbus and they didn't do ROTC. Well, DeVry went better at first, but I just didn't have the motivation to do school. After about 5 semesters, I flunked out again. Looking back now I see I was burned out on school and more was the last thing I needed. But, I wanted to fly and college was sort of expected, so I went. Now I'm a ****-ton in debt and nothing to show for it.
Fast forward a few years and I'm working at Walgreens. Still working on getting that degree as I'm looking at a company program to help defray the cost of school. They decide to clean house when our Store Manger gets the axe and I'm one of those that get the boot. I had seen this coming, so a few weeks before, I went to the Air Force recruiter to see what was what - at that time I couldn't have gotten in sooner than 9 months. That's a bit too long-term for me as I needed something sooner since I felt I would be unemployed soon. I didn't want to be a Marine (sorry fellas) - being a Marine is 90% attitude and I don't have that kind of attitude (or at the time, physical ability). Navy didn't seem like the thing for me either, so I went and talked to the Army.
I told them I wanted to do something Combat Arms but I didn't want to do Infantry. I liked the idea of, as you said, "******* **** up" but didn't like the idea of "door-to-door" as an 11B. I liked being alive. I also knew due to my debt I couldn't get a Security Clearance, so my pickings were slim. I'm a big guy and he told me, "How about Field Artillery? You look just like the kind of guy for that job". It sounded perfect to me - I could satisfy my "manly" desire to be in a Combat Arms MOS but tell my folks I would be comfortably away from the bad guys. So I took it. I was 26 when I Enlisted.
I didn't go to Basic at Fort Jackson for 3 months - so I moved back home with my folks and worked out with a local recruiter who helped me get my weight into regs (I used to tell people he made me run from one state to another twice a week - which if they didn't know meant the Williamstown Bridge over-back lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamstown_Bridge).
It was strange being as old as I was at Basic and AIT with so many sub-20 year old people. I had life experiences most of them didn't and was a lot better at following orders/instructions. Soon the 10 weeks were over and it was off to Fort Sill for 3.5wks of Artillery Training. Towards the end we found out where we were being stationed and I was sent to 5th Battalion, 25th Field Artillery Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (LI) at Fort Polk, Louisiana. I found out that they were shipping out to Afghanistan and I would get to Polk about 2 months after they'd left. Less than 5 weeks after graduating from AIT, I was on a plane to Afghanistan where I found out I was part of a Maneuver Battery. I wouldn't be on a gunline, I was going to be in a Platoon on the ground, doing patrols, clearing ops, kicking in doors, etc. I was going to be an Infantryman (just without the MOS lol).
Fast-forward 6 months and an IED ends my Military career. I didn't know it then, but I was done - and I'd been in Afghanistan longer than I'd been in Basic/AIT/Rear D combined. I thought I'd get fixed up and in a few months be back in action. Almost 2.5 years after I join, I'm now out of the Army and back where I started. Now the problem is I'm now 28 years old, tons of debt and still no marketable skills or degree for after I get out. Thankfully, there are programs that I'm utilizing to go to school and hopefully get back on the right track.
Would I change things if I could do it all over? Yes, but I think I would have Enlisted right out of High School first - this would have been in 2002.
Artillery was fun as hell - hard-ass physical work and it did suck major balls, but few things were as awesome as when you were on a gun, putting steel on target. I also miss the thrill I got as a SAW gunner during firefights or clearing ops. I had a sense of pride in myself, in my Uniform and what that stood for, of Brotherhood with those guys, that the Civilian world just doesn't have - and I really, truly miss it.
There are lots of parts of being in the Military that suck. Garrison life sucks, pointless FTXs suck, getting up at 0530 for PT sucks, Fort Polk sucks, CQ sucks, Staff Duty sucks, Command Maintenance sucks, CONEXs suck, etc. But it was worth it. I had experiences that many people will never have, though some bad, I wouldn't trade for the world. I met some great, great people and will never forget them the rest of my life.
Unlike some on here, I was lucky enough that all of my Battles came home. That's something you should also consider - if you do get in and manage to stay in, which is a LOT harder these days with draw downs and the like, if you're sent overseas to do your job, you or the guy(s) next to you might not come home. Really let that sink in. It was strange writing an e-mail to my folks in case I didn't come home. What to do with my stuff, what I would like done in my name, etc. Really lends a certain gravitas to the situation.
Really evaluate your reasons for joining, make sure it's something you truly want to do - as others have said, you can "**** **** up" other places. That kind of attitude will not endear you to your fellow Soldiers/Marines for very long - let alone your NCOs and Chain of Command. The Military will make you grow up fast, but you'll still be maturing. You don't want to be the guy that buys the big truck/sports car after your first deployment at the local dealer @ 21% interest while knocking up a local stripper - it happens more often than you'd think You'll be tasked with things that other people your age wouldn't dream of at their age.
In the end, the Military was the right choice for me. Just make sure you consider if it's right for you.

Find out which each branch offers and what you are interested in doing. Read, research, and speak to ppl with first hand experience. The greatest advice I can provide is understand recruiters are like used car salesman in that some are good, some are bad, but in the end they all get paid to get you to say yes. You may get an honest opinion or you may be directly lied to.

That's a great story.
My grandpa was about as poor as humanly possible in the sticks of Arkansas as a child. He had seven siblings originally and he was the oldest boy. Only he and three sisters made it past age 14. He just always said the others "starved." I can't imagine what his childhood was like. He tried to join at age 15, was turned away and joined the CCC for a year and went to Oregon. He loved it there so much that's how our family ended up there after the war.
He joined the Army Air Core at 16, was a belly gunner on a B-17. He did five combat missions and asked to be reassigned so they made him an MP. He never said one word to anyone in the family about his time as a gunner other than he was one and pictures that he showed us. He got to drive General Eisenhower around once as an MP and that was always his proudest moment. He ended his tour in India and shot a Hyena there with a Springfield. He always loved to tell that story.
He was the reason why I joined the Air Force. Whenever anyone asked him what his favorite part of being in the military was he would always say; "They fed us three times a day. I'd never had that before."

I stayed in the barracks left side of picture I think. My CC was a female as well.
The more I look the more I think maybe she was my CC. Was she a YN? I went to boot camp summer of 99.

On 2/6/2017 at 10:28 AM, Senko lover said:Any of ya'll got any advice/thoughts for a young guy looking at military? Been thinking about a reserve career for a while, and more recently have been considering the ROTC program to help me get through college. Obviously I have other reasons for signing up, but the tuition assistance is big since college costs so dang much $$ these days. I love PT and do boot camp style workouts all the time with my workout group. The physical aspect will be enjoyable. The aspect that seems the most unattractive to me is authority; I'm a disciplined and motivated person but very independent. That's not to say I'm a teenage jerk who has no respect for authority - I've been working a job since I was 14 - but I am more of an independent type. Not a problem for my regular employment but I'm the type who doesn't like stupid orders so I could see myself getting in trouble
Just my honest thoughts, I would love to serve my country and do more for a job than sit behind a desk, but do have some hesitations about the decision.
Military service isn't for everyone, but it is what you decide what you what to make of it. I am reading that your main reason is college, I too joined for the college aspect of it as well. There are a few options for you. You can go the ROTC route, which you will need to serve 36 months for each 12 months of school. If you enlist, you can use the post 9/11 bill for school, which you will have to pay a small portion into(I think) and after 36 months you are eligible to use it on whatever you like. If you are serious about joining, do your research, study for the ASFAB (110 GT needed for Officer) and try to get a good after the military job. Be careful of recruiters, they are out for numbers and not for you. Different services do things differently, Army will put you in a specific MOS, Air Force will put you in a career field. Talk to someone that has already been there done that before committing. PM me if you need to and we can talk. Good luck to ya either way!

I was with 4/10th 5/25FA in 10/13.
Unfortunately, I wasn't an angler when I was there, so I didn't find out about places like Toledo Bend and the like u til after I'd MedBoarded.

Officer in the United States Army.
Got to go to the Orient where I was a company commander and I got to hurt people and break things compliments of Uncle Sam.
Entered active duty June 1968 and served until June 1974.
Was asked to re-up to be a captain but my three brushes with death were too much for me so I left the Orient and returned to the good ole USA where men's shoes had tassels. That was a major surprise. Men's shoes with tassels. Who came up with that idea?
For some reason I made it out in one piece. Don't think back on those days anymore. Or the guys and gals who did not come home.
Just thankful that I can go fishing and enjoy every day, good or bad.

3 years of college before I ran out of money. Joined the Army as a forward observer for a special 2 year hitch that gave me enough money in the GI bill to finish college. Graduated from college went to work in Wal-Mart management for exactly one year before I decided I'd rather spend my life on boats than in a store. Joined the Coast Guard, became a Boatswain's Mate and retired after 18 years of service. Went back to work for the CG as a civilian SAR controller for 7 years and now as a commercial fishing vessel safety specialist. Been doing this for 6 years. I am going to retire again in 3 years.

I'm sorry for your loss. My grandfather was a Seabee when he was on Saipan and Tinian (he was a Marine before that). He would have been older than your father, but I wonder if their paths would have ever crossed. Those were tough men back then. Some of the pictures of my grandfather on Guadalcanal make me thankful that we had enough food and ammo at all times when I served. God bless your father.
