Were you around for the Clinton drawdown? I was. It's THE reason I'm a civilian today. It took a long time to accept that my lifes ambition of being a career NCO was no more.
I had a good punch in the gut when i was in contact with an old buddy from the Horse, a year or two back. She was a SrA when I knew her, and last i heard from her, she was a SMsgt working at the pentagon. Christ almighty.
