Just before the Gulf war, i received my remuster orders to remuster to Air Frame Tech, once i learned that my company was tasked to go to the Persian Gulf, spending the last 7 years training as an infanteer, well i quickly got that changed and ask to stay, call me crazy but the chance of doing what i was trained to do was alot more apealling, next came Yugo. Never regretted my decision to stay as a Royal.
