E7 when he retired. We were stationed all over the place. Kitzingen, Germany ; Goeppingen, Germany ; Ft. Riley, KS ; Fort Irwin, CA (were there for 7 years!); Camp Shelby, MS (in the area of Hattiesburg, my dad trained National Guard troops there)
I loved being a military kid! I can't even imagine staying in one place for the rest of my life. After 4 or 5 years, I already get the "moving itch" lol
Dad also served in the Gulf War. He was called up to go back for the Iraq War, but they couldn't take him because of his HBP and a knee injury that he got after he was out of the Army. This was around the time when he got sent to New Orleans and Biloxi after Hurricane Katrina to help with cleanup and rebuilding efforts
