Avalon members in the military?
 

Hi all,

I've been wondering for a while, as there seems to be such a diverse gathering of people on the forum, if there are many members that are in or were in the armed forces?

If so, do you feel better prepared to deal with these uncertain times?

Thanks...

I'll take that as a no then... Well i for one, for as long as i can remember have felt that something was coming, something i needed to be ready for...

I joined the army to take what i could to help me be better prepared. I've been out now for 3 years but i feel that it was the right thing for me to do... We're all walking a path leading to where? only time will tell

Hi Alterego, not so fast !!! I think that those who currently are in the forces are just a "little" nervous about disclosing that info and that is cool.

In South Africa we all had to do military duty up until about 1994 or so.

Did it better prepare me for anything? In certain ways yes and in other ways it was probably detrimental. Don't ask about what my involvement was as that isn't up for discussion. Let's just say I hated the military with a passion and the feeling was definitely mutual.

Cheers

I did ten years in the US Navy.
Does it prep me any more than anyone else?
Maybe.

More than anything I have CONCRETE knowledge the the government is all smoke and mirrors. As I have been directly told that, "Civilians don't need to know."

I was in the US Navy in the 70's. I operated machinery in a ship engine room. I learned alot about how various machines work (turbines, pumps, etc). That could certainly be useful in certain conditions. I have no special "insider" knowledge from being in the military.

Does anybody know what's happened to Egg?
