US Army, mid to late 80's. Blackhawk helicopter mechanic in the 101st Airborne, Ft Campbell, Ky. There were no conflicts during my term of service but there were a couple of little things in Central America that got the adrenalin flowing.
The biggest lesson I learned was that no matter what jungle, desert or third world country I was in, beer, booze, women and drugs were always easy to find.
