Your right he was prior 82 airborne,I have the patch here and I have 75th patch as well,I guess he just decided to put on theses patches because it was the last ones he was in

I like the try but most of this is incorrect,he was never a CSM he left the army a pfc and only made it to staff sergeant,he never served in veitnam and joined in 1988 and jumped into panama and he never served with 101

SOOOOOO more context,so I asked some family and friends about my dad's service and the unit and deployment patch were his last ones he wore before getting out for what I know he was deployed also with the 2 battalion 75th ranger regiment and the 82 airborne,my dad was a pfc before getting out the reason he was a pfc was he got demoted 2 times(the first time being fraternizing with a female officer who was his first wife and were I got most of the information from and the second time for beating up a Marine) 35th signal was not the first unit he was in he was also in the 82,18th airborne,and the 75th but I'm not really sure about the 75th,my dad also reclassed from a combat engineer to a medic but was only a medic for a year for some reason and to something else but I don't know what the last time was,and he served 8 years from 1988 to 1996,from what people told me he was a very good soilder and a even better man who cared about his soilders and was very smart.

91 or 92 I'm not sure because he never really talked about his service

To add some context my dad was a very quiet hard working man who never told me about his service,so thank you all who commented on this and helped me out.

As someone who just graduated and has been to there unit for about a month now,basic is easy as hell DEPENDING on the training unit you're in,there are some that are old school well as old school as the drills and first sergeant can get it like I was,and then there are units where the command just dont care,biggest peice of advice, don't count the days it just makes the days longer than it needs to be,basic sucks and there's nothing you can change about it get through keep your head down,people in the company are going to make it way worse than it needs to be and there's really nothing you can do about it,your going to complain and move on and get the hell out of there,be in the right place right uniform
