Raising my hand tomorrow....
Figured I'd share this, as I've been excited about getting back in and contributing something to the WOT. I got out after 16 years in active service in 2000. Lately it has really been bugging me that I am not actively engaged, or leanding a hand in what our Military is doing around the world to fight against the Jihadist movement. So finally, after months of paperwork I am able to finally raise my hand again, and get sworn in at MEPS tomorrow. I will be assigned to 20th Group. Just wish I could go to selection again, and show some of these young studs what "Not Quitting" looks like from an old fart...lol

Good for you
Are you kidding? We need the 'old guys'. Besides, it is not that one is old, it is that one has experience. I have learned the most from the experienced, or "old guys" than from anyone. Best to you.

Congradulations Buck,
Two years ago I went and talked to the CANG and they told me they weren't interested.
I'm sure you have much wisdom to share with the younger troops.

Sincerely appreciate all the kind words, funny thing is, I know damn well every QP on here if he was allowed to get back into it, he would be chomping at the bit like me, and probably be pushing me the hell out of the way to be first man into the breach. I am deserving of no praise, I actually feel like I've wasted 9 years after getting out, and not doing this sooner. Leave the praise for the ones who didn't, or won't make it home, as I am happy as hell at the chance to help.... enough said.
