My grandfather was a CIA ***** during WWII, no lie. I didn't know him, he died when I was in the range of two, but in all the pictures we have of him during the war, he has millitary clothing on, but on insignia of any kind, no denomination of rank. My father believes that he was an interrogater, but we can't really be certain.

And here's the real kicker... we have a certificate of service for him. When my grandma died, my dad decided to see if he could open his service jacket and see what he was... he dosen't exist in millitary records. :-x

True dat, good 'ol Manitou is family

A majority of my family has been in the military, either past or present-day. Most of us are combat veterans. My family has a proud heritage of military service- it's tradition and patriotism that we serve our country and give back some of the freedoms that we enjoyed as civilians. Here's a quick run-down (yes, I am proud).

Me: US Army, working on 10 years, combat veteran

My Bro: US Marines, 5 years, combat veteran

My Father: US Marines, retried, 22 years, combat veteran

My Uncle: US Navy, retired, unknown length, current DoD civilian and combat veteran

My Cousin (his daughter): US Navy, 3 years, combat veteran

My Oldest Sister: US Marines, 6 years

My Other Sister: US Marines, 5 years, current CIA, combat veteran

My Grandfather (paternal) US Army Air Corps, combat veteran

My Grandfather (maternal) US Army Air Corps, then US Army (infantry), combat veteran.

[Hezzy]

I have a mate who is going to Iraq on the 15th.

Oh, and its ARSE, not ass

"My Other Sister: US Marines, 5 years, current CIA, combat veteran"


CIA, im gonna say that doesnt mean Centeral Intellagence Agency, so what does it mean?

BTW

my Great Uncle (air force), he was in SAC, and i think he might have been in a B 17 in WW2, but i know what that conflict was like, and what it was like for the bomber crews, so i dont wanna bring it up.

and my other great uncle, he was on the 4th Lexington (navy), before it sank, he was transfered.

my Uncle, he was a Marine, but he broke his leg or something right before Desert Storm.

BTW, SAC, is the people that were incharge of Nukes, during the time when the only way possible of delivering a nuke to russia, was through a long range bomber.

thats all i know of, and me, i plan for West Point, ill prolly apply when im 19
