Were/are you in a Military?

If you were, what rank were you and what did you do?

I was the equivelent rank of Major in the Russian Tank/Armor Corps.

And I was the equivelent rank of Private in the Soviet Siberian Partizans.

Signed up for the Navy in 1988 (2 weeks after graduation). Discovered that due to the desire to shrink the military, my heart murmur (which had been undetectable since 1977) was a disqualifying event. (Taught me at a young age to lie on medical forms). Whatever grade they put on you as for "only physically fit if the Russians are kicking our doors in" was what I got. Lost a scholarship (and that summer forthat matter) and wasn't even allowed to join my local national guard. Funny thing was, I was doing triathalons at the time. But my heart wouldn't have taken Navy food, I'm sure...
