All can serve in their own capacity. I spend all day moving AAE from base to base with my trucks. Helicopter blades to Iraq, etc. Need to keep the troops supplied. Heck, I even help out the Belgium military from time to time. I'm almost 43 and I suspect after a hernia and three collapsed lungs (not all at once) I'm not really recruiting material.
