Actually, I served from 1990- 1998. My unit didn't deploy to the Gulf- although it seemed like just about every other unit did. We got to guard the PX and housing area and spend a lot more time in Hohenfels. Thems the breaks. When I finally got deployed it was to stupid missions like Macedonia and Bosnia. Had I known 9/11 was going to happen, I would've stayed in, but back in 98 it looked like the future held just more perpetual feel good peacekeeping and BS deployments. Not what an infantryman really wants to do.
