Question

Pop Quiz!

I was in the Army only three years (consecutive) yet, I served under 3 Commander-in-Chiefs.

How was this possible?

I served my time in the US Marines from '90-'94, mostly at Camp Pendleton, CA. Hubby has been in since '81, and retires in a few months. We both served during Desert Storm/Shield. OOOOOOH RAHH!!!!

Hubby had a 72 Ford F350 Crew Cab, now we just have this baby, the 2000.

Ok, Raoul, this grouping would also fit the bill as long as you enlisted near the end of the Eisenhower administration. What's my prize???

John Fitzgerald Kennedy 1961-1963

For those of you who do not know Raoul personally he hides his age very well.

The CICs he served under are R. E. Lee, Lincoln and Grant.
