Good Evening to The Canteen.

Always enjoy these visits to our military bases.

I was born and raised in Spokane and we had two Air Force bases just west of town... Fairchild Air Force Base and Gieger Field. When I was a pup, we also had an Army Base, Ft Wright. Ft. Wright became a community college campus in later years and Geiger Field became the Spokane Airport (GEG). I think the Air National Guard still utilizes Gieger Field. Fairchild once was home to B-52’s but is now a KC-135 base.

With all the Army and Air Force bases, I still joined the US Navy and my twin brother joined the US Marine Corps.

Thanks for the tour.

Good morning, Dave....lots of military around you. It is funny about you and your brother going to 2 different services than those right near you.

Hope New Years and your birthday celebrations were fun. All those fireworks displays just for you. LOL!
