Thread: Military Service

USMC 1981 to 1993. 0341 active, 0352 reserves. E7.

USMC '67 - '71... RVN '69 - '70...

SF

1982-1995 USAF, 1982-1983 Reese AFB (Lubbock TX) pilot training, 1983-1983 Castle AFB (Atwater CA) school house for KC-135/B-52, 1983-1987 Grissom AFB (Peru Indiana) KC-135 special ops unit, 1987-1991 Tegucigalpa Honduras US Embassy C-12 pilot (VIP turbo prop), 1991-1992 Wurtsmith AFB (Oscoda Michigan) KC-135 instructor, 1992-1995 Altus AFB (Altus OK) KC-135 instructor/tactician.

I feel great full for having serve with many good people, the training I had and for the opportunity to have traveled the world. During my service I was deployed for 30 days or more at the time at the very least once a year, more like twice a year and sometimes 3 times a year. Our shortest deployment was 2 weeks and that was unusual. It was a sacrifice more on my family than me and for that I'm also great full for their understanding.

Got to travel to England, Iceland, Italy, Egypt, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Panama, Bolivia, Japan, Alaska, Korea, Philippines and some bases in the US (for excercise).

U.S. Coast Guard 1996-present Chief Operations Specialist

Love those big planes! Was fortunate enough to work with the last (pre H model) B52 in service (Balls 8). What a piece of machinery.
