There's a HUGE difference

between Active Duty time and Combat Zone experience.

I did 11 years AD, and 10 years Army Reserve. Closest I ever came to combat was being caught in the middle of a "race riot" while on CP. That and being put on alert for possible deployment during the 10 day war.

I would never advocate CZ experience as a requirement.

Would never work as a requirement - (jbrabeck) - Feb. 23, 2006, 11:04:52 AM EST
