I'm curious how many military people we have here. Active, reserve, or spouse.

    Active, serving in the Australian Navy, joined to meet new people and challenge myself

    Man, I loved pulling into port and seeing an Aussie ship moored to the pier. You guys were a blast to hit the town with.

    Veteran Air Force, I am also inactive ready reserve until May 2016.
    Let myself kind of fall apart after I got out....my first civilian job was 14-16 hour days. No energy or time for working out, let alone eating right. I got a better job, as a contractor on an AF base and am slowly getting back to what I used to do.

    Army veteran 1991 - 1995! I'm 42 now & have kept in fairly good shape. Funny, I hated running when I was told to run, but now I love it!

    A big thanks to all who served and are serving and are preparing themselves to serve! Both my parents wer USAF and my bro was in the Marines. Been to a few air shows and seeing but most of all HEARING the sound of our fighter jets roaring overhead makes my heart swell with national pride! I love it.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA!

    EX RAF, was in shape whilst in, developed diabetes was told I had to leave, got depressed and then fat. Wasn't good in the long run so now I am only 2kg off my original RAF weight. So all good again. :smile:
