[Snow Bunny]

I joined the USAF in July of 1973. I went to Lackland AFB, Texas for training.

The Gang .......and Writing Home

I was the oldest recruit in my basic training class.

We graduated the last week of August 1973.
I was 23 years old and they made me dorm chief. (HBSIC, Head baby sitter in charge).

After Basic Training I went to Technical School at Goodfellow AFB, (San Angelo) Texas.

I was trained as a printer systems operator.

I went home in December 1973 and got married.

My first duty station was Karamursel, CDI Turkey.
In addition to my job I did a little of this. I'm the one on the right.

Mr. & Mrs. Militiaman7 at Air Force ball 1975.

Turkey was great, We had a lot of things to do.
Including touring Turkey, shopping in the bazaar in Istanbul.

In January 1976 my son ELMALO was born in Adana, Turkey (Incirlik CDI).

After Turkey I was assigned to Iraklion AS, Crete, Greece. Smack dab in the middle of the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. We toured Greece and most of Europe while stationed there.

My next assignment was Offutt AFB, Nebraska. where I was crossed trained as a USAF Weather Observer. Here I am briefing the SAC Commander.

After Nebraska I was sent to Elmendorf AFB, Alaska as a printer system operator. I don't need to tell what an experience Alaska was. Hunting, Fishing and watching the Northern Lights at 30 below zero.

While in AK my two daughters where born.

From Alaska I was sent to school at Fort Mead, Maryland (NSA) and on to Misawa AB, Japan.

Next it was a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We was assigned to K.I. Sawyer AFB as a training manager. I got my first issue of BDU's here they were Army hand me downs. The AF didn't have them available yet.

I worked in the Security Police shop and also maintenance for B-52 and KC-135 Tankers.

Also at KI our foster daughter Marty joined the family.

My next duty was Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio. I was the training manager for the Civil Engineer Squadron. We were on mobility status at Wright-Pat and did stuff like building an AF base from scratch out in the boonies.

We could go anywhere in the world with 9 hours notice build a AF base with runway, hospital, BX, housing, chow hall, everything to sustain a combat unit. My other part time jobs were Load Master for the C-5A and Snow Removal in the Winter time (Fun, Fun, Fun).

Back to Misawa next for two years then a Medivac flight to the USAF Regional Hospital at Travis AFB, California for 7 months then a final assignment at McDill AFB, Florida as a training manager for the F15 Squadron.

I retired from the USAF in August of 1993, Time served 20 years and 12 days.

I am now a DAV and a FREEPER ,
with four kids, 10 grandkids with number 11 due in November.

After lurking for about a year I joined FR in October 1998.

I have attended most of the major FR Rallies and functions in the DC area
and spent lots of hours doing the walk in front of the White House with
the DC Chapter. Also I have led several FREEPS in the SW Virginia area.

(With Bob Dornan at the Patriots Rally, April 20, 2002)

I am extremely grateful to be an American citizen.
I am proud of my service in the US Military.
I have been honored to serve with my fellow vets.

Thank you Militiaman7 for
serving our country.

To those who have lived or visited there, the devastation of so beautiful an area is heartbreaking.

[Mr_Magoo]

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken
is leaning against the headboard smoking a
cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face. The egg,
looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over,
and says, "Well, I guess we finally answered
