Frank's Story
Hello from beautiful Afghanistan! I'm just about done with my second tour of duty here, once was really enough but "it is what it is... ." Lots of progress since my first tour in 2005, the Afghans genuinely like Americans and although resource constrained are very much up to the fight. I lead an Embedded Training Team within the Afghan Nat'l Army, I am very proud to serve with them... . I do nevertheless look forward to going home, hopefully in late March/early April... .
Enlisted in the Air Force right out of Fox Lane. After assignments as a "medic" in Texas, California and the Philippines separated in '81 to attend the University of Colorado. So enjoyed the student lifestyle and naturally Colorado too! Did have to work while in school but managed to have lots of fun along the way... .
Returned to the active Air Force in '85 as a commissioned officer sp...Expand for more
ecifically working Logistics and Aircraft Maintenance (I was one of those "cocky" enlisted guys who always gave officers a hard time so it was only fitting that I become a "Mustang" (prior service) officer). I've had some awesome assignments along the way, and came to know some great folks too--not a perfect career by any means but really quite rewarding, especially the opportunities to command--I never forgot my enlisted heritage... . Made full Colonel in 2006!
I've been married to a wonderful lady for almost 20 years, we have two incredible kids--a daughter soon to be 18 and a son almost 12... .
Hope to return to the Pentagon form here and then retire next year. If all goes to plan, I'll attend Law School at the University of Denver--you got to have a dream!
Can't believe how lucky I've been... . Take care, my sincere best wishes to all of you... . Frank
