    I've flown on C-130's before. Great planes if you're cargo lol. Noisey as hell (we called them 4 fan trash cans lol) and not comfy for the passengers in the back but very reliable and saved a lot of *kitten*.

    Thank you sir for your service.

    I spent time as a child dependent, enlisted while my father was active duty, married an active duty Marine, served after her and my father were out, and for a brief period was a dependent again when she was recalled after I was out. A lot of life lessons, tough days, deployments, and hardships. And I wouldn't trade a second of it. I learned many things I will always benefit from.

    Sincere thanks to all that have served, and the families that supported them.
