How many members are active duty military, how many are retired.

I am just curious as to how many members are active duty? How many are retired military? I would hope to see a lot of response to this query.
I am retired from the U.S. Coast Guard (E-7)

I'm guessing there would be quite a few ex-military people here. They experienced first hand the conspiracy that is out there. They learned that what we are told is happening is not the real truth.

I'm active on the Call of Duty games, if those count?

In all seriousness though, i've never served in the military, so my response in this thread is entirely unneeded. It was worth it though, lol. Sorry about that.

Does family member for over 50 years count? Father/husband, same branch, got a gold "crest" necklace from the chief of the branch when hubby retired for being an active duty family member of the branch for over 50 years.

Rickymouse is correct in his observation, although I was just a family member - when a child people "forgot" I was in the room or assumed I wasn't interested; in the early spouse days the same was true at the numerous required social events; in the later days as a spouse I learned to read between the lines at the numerous social events with, some with, let's say elected officials and staff in the big house.

Prior service here, did not retire just did my enlistment then got out. Army, Infantry.

On ATS you will find all kinds of postings.
That is part of what makes it interesting.
The lighter hearted ones keep one from the despair that many of the threads engender.

Oh I know. I don't really think anything of it. I was just giving Seeker a hard time in a roundabout way

Who wants to know? ....(I get suspicious of poles like this. )....how do we on ATS know YOU are not a terrorist going to hunt down the military personnel or their family? ....people give information very freely nowadays , and sometimes that's not a very safe move.

a reply to: Shamrock6 It was nothing special. I thought of the question when I woke up this morning. I figured there was a lot of members that had served, or where serving. I was just simply curious. My daughter is serving now along with her husband. I am a proud dad of a Army soldier and her husband.

a reply to: Meldionne1 Not a terrorist. If you would like I can show my retirement certificate. Or provide a service number.
