This has been posted on the general board before so I thought I'd be darksider specific and ask who of you are vets ? When, what and where did you serve?

I was on a Titan II I.C.B.M. launch crew http://www.titan2icbm.org/ from 73-77.

One of our mottos was "we deliver in 30 minutes or less or your next one is free" !!:shock:

Thanks to all of you who served our country.
