[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4076205, member: 45785"] I did 24 years in the Air Force. Seven in months in Saudi Arabia, during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Technically, in a combat zone. Had fragments from the Scud-B's landing on the villa we were quartered in. So far as I can tell, that doesn't count for combat. I refer to myself as an REMF. Only gunfire where we were was a Saudi guard freaking out and shooting at shadow on the other side of the mosque at 6th RSAF HQ, in Riyadh. My unit's only fatality during that period was our loggie, who had a heart attack while cleaning his pool at home, fell in and drowned. [/QUOTE]
