USAF, '89 to '98

Was first stationed at Clark AB in the Philippines, working F-4 Avionics, then, just days before a big volcano went off, I went to Hurlburt Field, Florida where I was in Special Ops, working on Modified C-130 aircraft. After that, sill in Special Ops, I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan.

Places I was sent:

England
Pakistan
Jordan
Egypt
Australia
Guam
Kwajlein
Singapore
South Korea
Cambodia
Guyana
Panama
Etc

I really liked the AF but just got burned out. Towards the end I was gone for 200 to 250 days a year. For those still in that probably doesn't sound so bad. But I was in the service, for the most part, during peace time. War is much different. If I could go back in time, I would have stayed in. But then again, I would have definitely had to go to Afghanistan or Iraq. Might not be here right now...
