I was in at that same period of time. The Panama gig was NOT active combat. Sounds like you volunteered for extra service, or lying about the period of time. I went their myself. For 2 weeks only. The gulf war deployment was for the 205th out of Monroe only. And they spent quite a bit of time training in Texas prior to deployment.
Not sure what your beef is. Sounds like you are complaining just to be complaining.

I never said I was in active combat in Panama. I was stationed there for nearly 3 months, living in a hotel in Panama City, overlooking the Pacific and the canal. This was in 1988. There were only ten of us, no officers. We helped the active MP's on their regular duties, because of the rising resistance with Noriega and the PDF.
"Helping Hand" (or "Just Cause", I forget the name) was a year later. I wasn't there.
Like I said, it was a great assignment. I almost went active duty when I got back to go back to Panana, but I wouldn't have gone to Panana.
My unit wasn't activated for Desert Storm, but the 39th in NO was, and they asked for volunteers. 12 of us went from the 239th with the 39th.
