Held the following MOSs: 1811 - Tank Crewman (M48A3 & M60A1) 0151 - Administration (Additional MOS) 0251 - Interrogator Translator (Arabic-Egyptian; Persian-Farsi; Norwegian languages) 0231 - Intelligence Analyst (Additional MOS) My primary MOS no longer exists in the Regular Marine Corps. About 2002 the Interrogator Translator MOS (0251) was discontinued (except as a Reserve MOS) and all remaining Interrogator Translators on active duty were absorbed into the Counterintelligence (0211) MOS. Good things in life - Retirement, the Vietnam Era GI Bill, and self-sufficiency. Love fly fishing - built my own split-bamboo rod; tie my own flies.

Description On January 16, 1991, President George H. W. Bush announced the start of what would be called Operation Desert Storm—a military operation to expel occupying Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which Iraq had invaded and annexed months earlier. For weeks, a U.S.-led coalition of two dozen nations had positioned more than 900,000 troops in the region, most stationed on the Saudi-Iraq border. A U.N.-declared deadline for withdrawal passed on January 15, with no action from Iraq, so coalition forces began a five-week bombardment of Iraqi command and control targets from air and sea. Despite widespread fears that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein might order the use of chemical weapons, a ground invasion followed in February. Coalition forces swiftly drove Iraq from Kuwait, advancing into Iraq, and reaching a cease-fire within 100 hours—controversially leaving Saddam Hussein in power. While coalition casualties were in the hundreds, Iraqi losses numbered in the tens of thousands.
