AltitudeAddict 0 #201 October 27, 2005 Naval Intelligence "A" School (NMITC) in Dam Neck, VA. Trained there for 7 months mornings and nights under one of the NAVSPECDEVWARGRU guys before going to BUD/S and getting hurt. Spent the next year in the Naval Hospital Oaknoll (Oakland) until honor. discharge for injuries. The people made every crappy detail and duty in the 3 years worth it and then some. Even made me appreciate my brother Airborne Ranger (1/75th C co.) A LOT MORE! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sat on the sidelines for a bit but in succession of 2 differen't jobs it's gotten me closer to the action than I EVER would have been as a ROMAD. Make a lot more money too.
