Military Police service under the (compulsory) old federal armed service of the now defunct Jugoslavija (served in Macedonia in Strumica, Stip and Kumanovo). It sucked being a Croat in the Jugoslav military. I was cross-trained as an artilleryman as well.

US Navy 1973-1975 as an aviation structural mechanic in a patrol squadron and Army National Guard 1980 to 1983. The navy was OK it gave me a chance to grow up. The National Guard was a waste of time, nobody was interested in training and it was a good old boys club. Thank goodness there wasn't a war, our unit would have been slaughtered.

Well,I started with 14 as aLuftwaffenhelfer (antiaircraft 8,8),then I had the pleasure to join the Reichsarbeitsdienst in March 1944 and was later a volunteer to the 6. Waffen-SS-Gebirgsdivision "NORD".,where I was at the end SS-Junker and Führerbewerber (officer to be).
In the first days of May 1945 I was captured by the US-Army near Kufstein in Tirol and after some really bad and hard times in Heilbronn, Voves and Bolbec/France(it was the hell) I had the luck to become a interpreter in the US-Firestation in Camp Phil. Morris near Le Havre.
I came home in Dezember 1964

Please excuse my bad English, i had to use it long time ago.
Best regards
Rudi

No time in the ranks, but I've spent the past 3 1/2 years as a defence journalist, covered the war in Iraq in the front line and spent two months at sea with the Royal Navy.

U.S. Marine Corps, 1983-1987. I was an intelligence specialist on active duty(1st, 3rd Marine Divisions) and a machine gunner in the Reserve, Wpns Plt., Co. F, 2nd Bn, 23rd Marines, from which my moniker is derived. My father was in the USMC in WWII and was wounded on Iwo Jima. I hope that one of my sons will also serve in the Corps, but that would be up to them. Semper Fi friends!
