VERY impressive home page. Thanks for your service, and of course, the poem!

Likewise, from BigStick. I lost one child the difficult way, and one son to God's way. But aren't all ways difficult ways? Two sons I still have, now grown men. Both were military, one a West Pointer and the other a USAFA graduate. The latter cross-commissioned into the Army with the 82nd Airborne and spent some time with the Rangers. The elder was an Abrams tanker. I see you, too, did some swingin' in the air!

Stay well, Joe.

"I see you, too, did some swingin' in the air!"

Breeze between the knees...Congrats on both your boys...You've got to be proud! As an MP captain in Korea, I had considered trying an interservice transfer to USAF OSI. The AF doesn't have a warrant officer corps, per se, and, as far as Criminal Investigation and Counter Intel, they tend to let their commissioned officers get a lot more hands on, as opposed to the Army where the commissioned officers tend to plan, supervise and direct. I interviewed with the AFOSI commander at Osan, an AF 0-6...who was a West Point grad that had reclassed to the AF! Ultimately, my chain of command, "convinced," me I didn't want to attempt an interservice transfer...

...I've since found my calling in the private sector.
