    Like the title says I joined the Army Reserve. I'm a prior service USMC Sgt so this should be an interesting adjustment. Before you ask, the reason I went Army Reserve and not USMCR is because I have too many tattoos to go back into the USMC (even though I had them while I was active duty). I was an Airwinger in the USMC and I'm lat moving to 12B Combat Engineer in the Army. OORAH HOOAH!

    Don't matter what uniform you end up wearing. Once you wear the Devil Dog's uniform, you'll always be a Devil Dog for life. Once a Marine, always a Marine!

    At least now you get to wear your cammies wherever you go. ;+)

    RAH! Oh wait, it's HOOOOOOAH!

    Yeah that's one thing I've come to learn, we're all on the same team. It'll just be an interesting transition.

    Do they still train you to find mines with a stick? That was the exact time when I decided I picked the wrong MOS.
