Yep, US Army enlistee, although I wasn't a career service member. I was in for 3 years but became eligible for and got a nearly a 6 month early out because I wasn't interested in reenlisting. I was quite happy with that at the time. I served a total of 2 years, 6 months and 22 days.

The 22 days were added on after I'd come home for Christmas on a 30 special leave, and overstayed at home a few extra days. :)

Arlington is a special place. But you know that. Respect.
