Dave, I love your signature line.

The one I use on another forum is:

A Veteran is someone who once wrote a blank check to "The USA” for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who don't understand it.

BTW, What career field were you in and where were you stationed?

I was a missile cop from 80-85 at Grand Forks AFB
Jet Engine Mechanic for the rest of my career at Dover AFB from 85-94, Lajes Field from 94-96, and Barksdale AFB from 96-99.
