What branch of the service and when did you serve?
I didn't. Came of age after the draft was abolished and before registering for the draft was re-instated. My son, though, at 25 years old and with a college degree joined the Marines and went to Parris Island in January. He signed up for 6 years specifically to get into the infantry. Said he wanted to do something hard. His mother, and my wife, went through medical school and was one of the doctors in Liberia 2 summers ago battling Ebola. I think he's trying to keep up with his mama. Both of them are my heros.
