Thanks to every one of you for your service. But you understand that you have an advantage in the RVing world. You are used to moving at a moments notice with a 5K moving allotment. Y'all are already on the road while we are still sorting the Yes/No/Maybe piles.
I'm happy to help keep this thread on top of the "Yes" pile.
Y'all take care.

I did a rough tally of the folks that have replied to this thread.

The results are not 100% accurate as there were a few that served, but did not list their service, or services. There are also several who served in more then one service. I also included the Reserves in their respective branches.

Here is the breakdown - Plus or Minus one or two!

Army: 99
Navy: 89
Air Force: 92
Marines: 29
Coast Guard 11
Unknown: 10
Multiple Services: 7
Military Services in other Countries: 4

Was in the USAF for 39yrs. Active duty for 4yrs and the rest was in the USAF Reserves(ART). That is full time reserves. S&B is 4 sale and we are gone to the world of full timing as soon as S&B is gone. Have done 1 FAMCAMP and plan on doing a lot more.
GOD BLESS the USA

Thanks Gordon R for doing the breakdown - I know there's a lot of USAF and USA vets/retirees that are RV'ers. When I go camping and/or staying at our Park Model in Yuma, I've seen more Air Force and Army flags or decals flying from the the RV's and even from golf carts running around the RV resort. So when I get the chance, I also proudly fly my Navy flag.
