I wound up serving with the See Bees, who taught me what it means to be a man. I learned about the value of my word, a hard work ethic, and being a Patriot. My family was much relieved.
I served a short time under the Carter admin 30 years ago, I advanced to Lcp but they gave me a check for the rest of my enlistment( too many men in ). Looking back I should have taken the cooks job.
I first took the oath in the early 80s when I joined the Army. Shortly thereafter I was assigned to the 3rd Ranger Battalion where I served continuously until I left the Army. After I ETS’d I went into law enforcement.
When I was a new enlistee, one of the first lessons we were taught in our training, which was repeated several times throughout my first enlistment, was that each man (or woman as the case may be) was duty bound to evaluate each order given by a superior and only obey those that were lawful. Not “legal”, but lawful. Lawful in that orders must be consistent with the Supreme Law of the Land as well as the UCMJ
I’m the widow of a navy veteran. He served in Korea and Viet Nam aboard air craft carriers. He loved America, but came home with a dark hate for the oath breakers of the US government that shadowed the rest of his life.
Once enlisted, I asked myself how I could best fulfill my Oath to support and defend the Constitution. I decided that my first step would be to find out what was stated in the document. After that, I still had some questions that needed clarification, so I read the concurrent writings of the Founders.
