Answer
Hi Conor,
That is kind of a long question, so I saved it for last.
I am not in the military right now, although I was in the Air Force during the Viet Nam war.
I didn't go to the front lines, but worked on trucks back at the base.
Basic training was a very learning experience, but they were not mean, and it was work, but not teriffically hard.
I currently work for the government as a mechanic near a large Army installation, where I have several military surplus vehicles in my fleet, and I work on them.
I did not go to Iraq, but I know a lot of people who have.
I would highly recommend the experience of a tour in the military, and hope you are considering it. The educational opportunities are endless.
Good luck,
Van
