What was your military specialty?

Marine Corps 1968-1972. Field Radio Operator. 2nd Batalion, 1st Marines, Viet Nam.
A a radio man my issue weapon was a 1911. I opted to also carry a rifle which was for 9 months an M14 until we were finally issued M16s. That's why I still have a love for the 1911
and have a RIA 1911 now mainly for target shooting and home protection. It is too big for concealed carry and that is why I got my CM9 for concealed carry. After a lot of research on what to buy I got my CM9. I love everything about it and carry it daily.

Shortly before returning to civilian life, an aviator buddy of mine flew into town in a T-28. Told me he came to give me a ride before I got out.
IT WAS GREAT! He would explain a maneuver and then we would perform it. Yeah, he gave me a barf bag which I used after about 15 minutes. He asked if I wanted to quit but then he would explain the next maneuver and I just had to do it. Three more encounters with the bag before we were done, but what a hoot!

My only other experience in a small aircraft was in college. The president of the flying club took me on a flight a few hundred feet above Mt. Rushmore. It was an incredible view.
