I'll Start....

Im in the Air Force, i joined in Aug 2004, been in since then and just reenlisted till 2012  . I have been on three different deployments, one being the one i am on now. The first two were to U.A.E (a basic vacation spot), but i was there for 8 month's a peice  . Nothing interesting in my career except here in Iraq and what goes on here. I'll be here for almost 9 month's.

well not in utah now but active duty air force, just finished basic training today with the 331st TRS. WOLF PACK!!!!

[Shoyrtt]

I think we have done this thread before, but since Red just made it through basic training its a good topic:

1) Branch: USAF
2) time served: 3 years 8 months active (I got out early to go back to school)
3) deployments/deployed locations: Never "deployed" but here is where I was stationed: 87-88 Mather AFB (ATC base training navigators outside of Sacramento, now closed  ). 88-89 Kunsan AB (PACAF F-16 base that had nukes at the time ). 89-90 Vandenberg AFB (SAC base for missile testing etc ).
4) whatever else...: I was a cop, which meant at my first base I was a glorified gate guard. Kunsan was fun and by the time I made it to Vandenberg I had promoted early to NCO status (no more gates!!!! ).

[weirdtimes_7]

I think I might know you... you gave me a ride from the bomb dump over to motor pool in a white minivan- caravan or windstar?- and we talked about wheeling, but never went.  When you get back, hit me up and we'll go run some trails.

most of my time in FT Riley KS, with a 9 month stint in Bosnia during SFOR

while in Bosnia i got a lung problem- making it hard for me to pass the run. the army felt that since i was close to my ETS  they would let me ETS instead of giving me a medical out.

id do it again in a heartbeat.

Active duty Army,  5 years in and 3 more to go,  Currently in Afganistan.  You can ge lots of cool off road gear in the army.  Just saying.   Anyways Infantry is my job.  They let us drive really cool looking trucks and dont really get that made when you get them stuck or flip the in the waddies.  They think we are just a bunch of dumb grunts.  Jokes on them, they pay us to shoot guns and drive off road all the time.  Its a country boys dream!!!
