I was in an Air Defense Artillery battalion attached to 1st Cav from November 1978 to December 1981. Went from E-1 to E-5 (yes, I did BNOCS there too) during that time frame.
My question for you guys is, how uncommon was it for one fucker to be in the same unit for thirty seven months during these years. Reason I ask is I've had a couple of (vets) people tell me, "no way dude" when I tell them how long I was there.
I don't have to argue, I have the DD-214 that has it in black typewriter ink.
Just want to know your take on a single unit three plus year assignment at the time.
