    Hello all,
    I was wondering, do we have any current or former service men and women here?
    If so would you like to share info about it such as,
    Your years of service?
    The countries army you was in?
    The rank you held and Possibly if you was apart of any wars?

    thanks for those who share their stories.
    I look forward to the replies since we have a large community on war relics from all sides of the earth.

    Not trying at all to be rude or unsociable....but in today's computer world, it's not always the best of ideas to be giving out personal information on a public internet forum....

    Agreed, one thing that is advised (at least for UK forces) is that its best not to post any details of your career online, especially on facebook or other social networking sites. Its really quite shocking how easy it is to find out details about someone using the internet and a couple of quid, so it would be fairly easy for the IRA or Al Qaeda to find a target if they so desired. I remember hearing something a while back about an Al Qaeda cell in the UK being foiled in their plan to kidnap and execute on video a British soldier within the UK, all of the details about the soldier were discovered through facebook.

    Thanks
