Life
Howzit?? I finished the last twenty years traveling around the world to many wonderful places with the Army. I made it to through both Gulf wars and spent the last couple of years in Hawaii. I bought a house in Mililani Mauka on Oahu and never seem to get to the beach anymore.

I commanded Tanks and wrecked one driving it into a crater in Louisiana. I set up PATRIOT missile launchers in Europe, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Texas. I led a Avenger Missile Battery through a year in Iraq as their 1SG, then spent my last bit of time as an Operations NCO setting up "Super Top Secret" RADAR and communication equipment in northern Japan. That was one of the best vacations ever!! I retired from the military in Hawaii and can't see staying anywhere else!!
