I did my national service in the Norwegian army, armoured battalion, armoured reconnasaince platoon, northern Norway 1993-94.
We’re doing furriners too? Cool.
Served 1993-1996 (March 93), NAHAL Brigade (infantry), finishing Regular service as a samal rishon (an E-4, basically). Currently serving as a reservist in the 417 Brigade (infantry) with the rank of rav samal (E-5).
US Army 1988-Present, SFC
Only about two years left until retirement.
Talent, friend, sheer talent.
Seriously, I originally enlisted for four years in the Army and extended that for 30 months. When I left the Regular Army, I went into the Army Reserves under the “Try One” program (best recruiting tool yet). After 13 months with them, I decided to go into the Regular Navy. That took me all the way to 20 years service and I transferred to the Fleet Reserve (aka, retired).
p.s. I advanced to SP5 in the Regular Army, converted to SGT in the Reserves, and retired as PO1.
If anyone’s interested in what the non-US (or even the US) ranks are, here is a nifty link. That tells me that Alessan left service as a Staff Sergeant and before the latest change in Israel’s military insignia. It also tells me that Kotick’s branch of the Army has a pretty cool insignia (assuming his military uses Cavalry to mean Armor).

Great site!
Bit of a mistake there, though - the Private First Class rank was either abolished or is simply being ignored (knowing the IDF, probably the latter). Promotion goes straight from Private - more a trainee rank than anything else - to Corporal, although following longstanding tradition combat troops never wear corporal stripes.
Incidentally, as I was promoted last year, I’m supposed to get a set of the new SFC epulettes, which I will never wear (reservist enlisted don’t wear insignia of any sort).

Boy did I expect you to be a submariner.

USN - Enlisted in 1973 (AT2), commissioned in 1979, off active duty as a LT in 1984. I was a drilling reservist for about 3 years, but the reserves jerked me around and I resigned my commission. I was an airedale the whole time.
I’ve been a civilian employee of the Navy since 1985 - mostly on the aviation side.
Oxymoron if ever there was one!
Aw, come on! You guys invented the joke!
Forgot to include:
U.S. Army, 1974-77, combat radio operator, spent almost my entire enlistment in Germany. My wife and I honeymooned and traveled whenever I wasn’t in the field with the 9th Engineer Bn. My unit set the world’s bridgebuilding record at Speyer in 1976 when we spanned the Rhine River in 38 minutes.

Yeah, and add the GDI, Brotherhood of Nod, Colonial Marines…

USN 1973 - 1977 Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class. I was at Portsmouth Naval Hospital in NH after A school went to C school for lab tech training and then served on the Pensacola, LSD-38, supporting marines.
DP3, U.S. Navy 1981 - 1986
My husband did 26 years active duty in the Navy; married to me for the last 16 years of that. He was an AK for the first 12 years; then was commissioned via the LDO (Limited Duty Officer) program and retired as a Lieutenant Commander.
Our son is a Navy Hospital Corpsman, working with the Marines somewhere – according to the website for his MEU, they are in Djibouti, but he called me this weekend for a few minutes and couldn’t give me confirmation of that over the phone.
