In my prime, I was airborne recon sniper. You can't get much tougher than that. We did it all in those days because we HAD to do it. Nobody asked for slack and none was given. You drove on and on. I learned to do 900 meter silhouette shots and did so with regularity at the closer distances. I went to places where no other American had ever been nor will ever be back to visit. Here's a photo of me, my sniper rifle and a pig I nailed while on a patrol one day. 173D Airborne: The ONLY way to go.

I would have loved to do anything. None of them would have me cause of eyes and knee. Tried all 5 branches in '72.

Thanks to all you who did...

I would def be the medic who provides support fire with weapons like a Beretta 92FS as a side arm and an HK MP5 as my primary with plenty of first aid supplies. I would like this because I tend to like the idea of playing the role of rescuer. Not to mention it would be much easier for me personally to take care of people and protect them than it would be to hurt them.

I'd have to be a medic or something. I can do that work but I can't hear for beans. I like doing medic work though.

Are you sure about that. 80% of russian men born in 1923 did not survive the war.
