Bruce's Story

Life If any one knew me back in H.S. they would not have expected I would ever bothered doing anything. Well I went to 2 years at a private college. Got married had 2 sons. Wow I became responsible finally. Spent 1975 to 1988 in the U.S. Army. Took an early retirement from the army. Took more college courses, did the social circuit of volunteering, cub scouts, youth soccer. You might like to know I took a college EMT course and Life Guard training threw the Red Cross. Divorced in 1990 and been single and dating since. Was in Tennessee volunteering at an exotic bird rescue. Birds sure can bite hard. In November 08 I left Tenn. and hit the road with my dog Tommy to camp, fish and visit friends and classmates. I am building a camping and travel website. Let you know when it is active. Presently in Tampa, Fl area getting data ready for the site. I was traveling the old U.S.A. visiting National, State and Military campgrounds. Felt rather like a hippie. Hope to hear from old classmates and military buddies on this site. I lived at 30 N.E. 195th Street from 1954 till 1971. Still did summers there during college. Just might help some to recognize me. Military My mil. exp. is long and confusing. If you never had a friend or family member serve our nations defense. Then what I did will bore you. I met a guy in the navy who tried to explain flight ops on an aircraft carrier to me. I was lost not being able to relate to his job. So if you want to hear details ask I can tell you wonderful and depressing events. The Cold War is not well explained(1946-1990 longest U.S. war) or those who quietly served in ...Expand for more
it appreciated or recognized. The so called "glory" goes to a "hot war" vet. The injured and deaths in the cold war era are ignored even by our own mil leadership and definitely by politicians. You never heard about all the training accidents. That is what they were called. But these are soldiers who died in service to protect our citizens. They have no memorial that I know of yet. They are the forgotten dead and injured. But I keep them in my memories and honor them. Forget the (insert foul word here) in Washington D.C. They are over educated frat boys without a heart or one ounce of compassion. Well now you know how I feel about officers and politicians. I sure woke up and smelled the coffee wearing camo attire and dirt. The nice quiet guy in HS has an opinion and a backbone like steel. OK enough I am starting to depress even myself. Just know your protected even when there is no "hot war" or pretty metals being passed around. My son is now protecting us with thousands more. Units I served in 2nd 34th/ 24th Inf Div light infantry as a 81mm mortar man. 2nd 33th Field Artillery /1st Div. as a forward observer. F.I.S.T. HHB 75th Field Artillery S-3 Ammo NCO./F.I.S.T. C-94th Field Artillery Berlin Brigade as F.I.S.T. and E-320 Battalion S-3 training. Plus spent time in 1/81st Pershing Missiles and Berlin Meddac's plan's operation's and training (PO&T) Want to know more just ask. Update. Stopped in Tampa to rest up do some personal Biz. Hope to find a larger RV to cruise in on my trip around the country. Send my website when I have it up and running. Keep in touch here or Face Book listed as Bruce Lyle Bryan.
