Non- Combat Veterans.

My Air Force years were from 1973 to 1980.
In my 7 years, i only fired the M-16 two times in all those years.
One hundred rounds at the rifle range during basic training, at Lackland Air Force Base, in San Antonio, Texas, and one other time at a German rifle range, while stationed at Zweibrucken Air Base, in Germany.
Was supposed to qualify once a year in Germany, but they "pencil whipped" the other one, as i was on leave at the time the rifle range was contracted to be used.
So firing a weapon twice in 7 years, a Marine, or a Army guy, would probably consider an Air Force guy like me a woosie. lol
But to the op of this topic, it doesn't matter if you held an office job while in the service, worked on the flight line, like me, or dodged all the bullets in Viet Nam, your still a veteran. :usflag:
