Len, lest you nit pick about the location of Fort Campbell, let me explain.
Yes, I was for sure at Ft. Campbell in Kentucky. The base saddles the state
line between Kentucky and Tennessee.
Does anyone care where an anony-mouse "saddles?" :-)
Anony-mousies have horsies? :-)
I would wake up in Kentucky and go across the street to the PX in Tennessee.
You see, Len, the stae border ran right down the dividing line of the base.
I would do PT in Kentucky and and have a cold one at the end of the day in
Tennessee.
Sounds like you had way too many "cold ones" in straddling the
"stae" line. Sober up and try again.
What has that to do with AMATEUR RADIO? You MUST follow your
Commander's (Gen. Chesty "stick time" Robeson, USMC) Order of
the Day: The only "airborne" talk is USMC helicopters. The
only amateur radio talk allowed by him is USMC MARS ops on
Okinawa.
Of course you chairborne types would not know this.
And Len, you have not answered my question. What was your MOS and what did
you do in the service of our country?
Am I supposed to pop-to and immediately "answer a question" of
some anony-mouse? :-)
My primary MOS was 281.6, microwave radio relay operation and
maintenance supervisor, secondary MOSs as Fixed Station radio
operation and maintenance supervisor, carrier terminal
operation and maintenance, United States Army. A buddy in my
outfit, serving at the same station but on a different
operating team (we had four teams) is Gene Rosenbaum, N2JTV.
You can see the details of where and how I served at:

There are three documents there (second group on that web
page). The first one, "My Three Years with ADA", describes
it in more detail.
As to working as a civilian on DoD contracts, there's not much
available to show you, especially not to anony-mousies. Pick
Hughes Aircraft Co. Ground Systems, RCA Corporation, Teledyne
Electronics, and some others on up to 1989...just tell them
you are "Arf" the man you say you are and demand they TELL
you what I did in electronics engineer as a civilian. I'm sure
they will salute you smartly. With the middle finger.
It seems that you and bb have a fair share of hot air with little to
substantiate your claims.
I've got all sorts of documents, some already scanned to back
up MY claims "Arf-ass," and the United States government to
reference it all. Just go to the big Military Records center
(NARA) at St. Louis, MO, and demand to see my Army record.
They have a website and can even return information over the
Internet. Here, I'll even give you my ASN: RA 16 408 336.
Trouble is, YOU have to supply YOUR SSN on the Standard Form
for getting those details. The U.S. government doesn't accept
demands from anony-mousies. Expect another middle-finger
salute from them when you can't supply that. You deserve such.
Stand up. Hook up. Stand in the door.
Tsk. You've seen too many military movies on TV.
Next time, do NOT forget the parachute as you just did...
