Gotcha beat...

I 'missed' the Gulf I/Desert Shield General Recall by about 30min - all because I was returning to CONUS via Luftansa rather than an a US Carrier (I was carrying POWs and the FRG/Luftansa check-in was 10,000x easier than the US Carrier Rectal Exam.)

My flight was already in the air when everyone else rotating/still standing in the security queue had to head back to their Unit...

My brother was Navy, USS Kitty Hawk '93-97.

My dad was US Army, 1966-1975, 101st Airborne in Vietnam for '68-69. 1975-1982ish he was National Guard, 1982/3-1990 he was Navy Reserve. He'd actually switched from the Navy Reserve right out of high school to the Army because as a reservist he couldn't go to sea for a year (basically, made no money) at that time. He was on two frigates, then a MIUW unit (ground based port defense). 3 months after he retired they called him back in for the Gulf War on about 2 hours notice. Oddly enough his XO was his boss at work.... and half a dozen guys in his unit worked with him.

He re-retired in 1991.

We've had people in my family in uniform for the U.S going back to the Revolution (greatX2 grandfather was a corporal, later lieutenant, Union infantry for example) on my dad's side......the urge to serve is strong with us.
