Same here, think it was 2006. Can't stand the line or ride anymore. So that kind of sux.Hey Brother! I have been a member since 2008. I live close (about 15 minutes) to the South Carolina border so we share a lot of missions.
It was an Alabama member who got me started. Great friend and I thank him for getting me in the PGR. I was born and raised Army,(born at Fort Gordon, GA.) but never joined. I was too thickheaded! Father and Mother were both Army (mom was a WAC for 4 yrs) and 1 brother who was Air Force (24yrs) and also CIA. Other family members are veterans.
Even though I have never served, I am not treated differently in the PGR. They respect me as I respect them. It is the one organization that I belong to. They understand that life gets in the way sometimes and are happy to see you when you can make a mission. I try to promote the PGR as much as possible.
But stood the line many times in tears with my brothers and sisters and there is nothing more humbling and heart wrenching imho as being right there for someone you never knew.
Sometimes family members are angry and I understand that. I was standing at the beginning of a line when a women, think (daughter), come running at me with anger in her eyes. I stood fast and thought she was going to clobber me. Next thing you know, she gave me the most strongest hug I ever gotten from someone outside my friends and family circle. She said 'crying, thank you for being here".... hard to top that...
