A big Thank You! to everyone for their service.
I am an 11B with 4 years in and I run a game with another army recruiter and two air force guys (some type of coumpter nerds). To be fair the high military concentration in my group is because we are near a rather large US Air Force base in Germany.
The 12B is now changed to the 21B Combat Engineer.

I'm kind of remembering "Petroleum Distribution Specialist" or some such? I am woefully uneducated about MOS designations outside of the 98 series.
I guess I should give a shout-out to two of my group members who also served. One (female) is ex Air Force and the other (male, joins when he can) is in the Navy Reserves - recently back from the Gulf and (I think, but hope not) going back again at some point soon. He's about the best minis painter I know...when he can focus on it, that is.

As Ungoded said it was truck driver. Though I ended up driving a humvee mostly and driving our units commander around and playing secretary more often than not. But considering we was a construction unit it got me out of the harder work so not complaining.
As for what Warlord asked. I game with a PJ aka Parajumper the airforce rescue SpecOps guy. Not sure what the MOS is for them.
Army.
to all who serve and play...
May God and Gygax watch over us all ;)

well folks I learned to play D&D (3rd)onboard the USS Kearsarge while deployed in the USMC, I find military players are the funnest to game with, they are used to strangers.
In my first permanent duty station, Hawaii, our artillery unit had a slogan that seems appropriate now.
It was "Heleon". It was ancient Hawaiian supposedly and was supposed to mean "Drive On".
So I say "Heleon" To the past, present, and future military members and gamers.

4 years on the USS Carl Vinson, we were on station before OEF started. My second deployment we participated in Foal Eagle, the semi-regular military exercises with Japan and Korea, during the run up to OIF. Turning a carrier around within 12 months for a second deployment is a lot of work.
3 years at NRD Minneapolis as the PSD Liason. I told my Master Chief that I was going home, so when he spotted that billet I was happy to take it.
I am surprised there aren't more Signal geeks in here...
31S/25S since '95 and still active duty.
Being Active Duty makes it difficult to get groups together, and when you do they die sudden horrible deaths: PCS/ETS/Deployments/Field... *poof* group is dissolved.

Been a while since I saw this thread. Looks as if all of us MI geeks weighed in early. Thanks to everybody who's out there keeping us safe. :)
