Officially on the retired list!
 
United States Army 1966 to 1968
Served in Germany as personnel actions clerck
got lots of enlisted men promoted to 2nd leuitenents to be killed in Nam.
 
US Air Force CMSgt (E-9), retired. I served from April 1984 through September 2009.

I had a wonderful 25 years in the Air Force. I got to see the world (including taking my "T" to Germany/Holland for a couple years), and had some other great experiences.

On my first tour in Europe (45 minutes from Amsterdam in Holland), I met my Dutch wife. My son didn't even speak English until he was five due to us living in Holland when he was learning how to talk.

I got to fly backseat in an F-15 (ever so slightly better performance than a TR by the way), a T-6II trainer, and right seat in a NATO AWACS E-3A. As a private pilot, each of these flights was a very special treat for me.

I was the senior enlisted advisor to a two-star general, and got to lead a career field of 350 enlisted men and women stationed around the globe.

I miss it, and still miss putting on my uniform in the morning.

After I retired, I decided to continue serving the Air Force and our country in a civilian position.

U.S. Army Combat Photographer (25V) 2000 - 2007

I had finished Basic Training and was in Advanced Individual Training at Fort Meade, Maryland on 9/11. We were about 30 miles from the Pentagon and just across the street from the NSA. Our nations number one intelligence agency seemed a likely target as events unfolded that day. I won't go into details of that day or the time that followed but I will say that it was a very surreal environment to find myself in.

Thanks to all that have served and those that continue to serve!!!
