Have been out for some time now. Honorably Discharged after completing my contract of 6 years. Signed up as ARMY Reserve, but was sent off to Saudi within a month or two of finishing my MOS training. Did a 9 month Tour there during Desert Storm, but never saw enemy action. Came back home and did my 1-weekend/2-week gig.
"Sgt. 1st Class" (E-6) Wayne Stroud
52D (Power Generator Mechanic)
Basically, I supplied electricity at remote base camps. My job consisted of mostly sitting with the CO in his tent watching satellite TV and going out 3-4 times a day and blowing the sand out of my generators. I ran everything from the smaller type you could fit in the back of a truck, to the ones pulled behind a big-rig that will power a few city blocks.
Jumped on a bus for Basic on January 3rd 1990... Discharged somewhere in '97.
