What branch did you serve in?

[CDHumiston]

USAF 1979 - 2005 (15 of my 26 years in Asia)

I met some great people, saw a large part of the world (Some sandy spots with oil fires burning I would rather forget) and generally had a great time.

I was also a Ground Radio troop and we STILL had tubes in many pieces of equipment when I started my electronics career.

[glennbad]

USAF '85-'89, Crypto Maint./Installation

Joined mainly cause my dad and brother were both in. My dad is a great man, and the AF made him everything he is today.

The AF did the same for me. Would I do it again??? Maybe.

BTW, my 2 sisters went Army.

[Wunderbar]

I joined the U.S. Army because of the college money, and the Airborne and Ranger options. I craved being a paratrooper since I was 10. I loved it. I took advantage of every option/school available. Ranger school, Jump school, PLDC, AirAssault School, SERE training, Excellerated Spanish and Pathfinder school. I didn't excersise my Special Forces option because it required a second enlistment. I needed to get out and go to college.
Served from 1986-1990 and again in 1991.
